I should have mentioned donations (quite a lot of Mint funding comes from them), but as long as ads are easily blockable with Adblock Plus, you can donate instead. Search-based funding doesn't involve graphical ads and the project gets the revenue even if you block the text ads, which I find are quite relevant and sometimes useful.
