May I suggest we drop the 'fairy godmother' terminology. It seems to be suggesting an impossible dream, as in Cinderella, or alternately is meant to be pejorative. I prefer to simply talk about the sponsored payment model, to be added to the reader-side fee model and the author-side fee model, and combinations of any of these. Sponsorship covers government subvention, professional society support, loss leaders, and even the public donation route. 'Fairy godmother' is a bad description of all of these, as they all expect to get something back, even if it is not monetary.
