Jess Ducey has been fundraising recreationally and professionally since the late 1990s, including several years spent managing and advising campaigns for a crowdfunding platform. They've helped crowdfund theatre shows, charity calendars, advocacy campaigns, nonprofits, new products, albums, restaurants, food trucks, events, social enterprises, and more.

The event will only be in person, but we'll share notes and slides afterwards, so make sure you're subscribed to Fringe Curious to hear about this and more pre-Fringe events.
