FringeMakers

Funding the Fringe.

Using the power of the crowd to raise vital funds for Fringe artists, venues and creatives.

A collaboration between the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society and Crowdfunder - FringeMakers support the many artists and creatives who make the Fringe happen every year by providing them with a way and space to generate financial support.

Since we launched in 2020, during the first months of the pandemic, the FringeMakers platform has helped over 200 artists and venues collectively raise over £600,000.

The Fringe will return in 2024, with events taking place live in Edinburgh from 02 - 26 August.

If you’re an artist, venue or creative, we’d love to help you get set up on the platform so you can start fundraising.

If you’re a Fringe fan, we’d like to invite you to explore the wonderful array of individual projects on the platform and donate what you can – the cost of a ticket, a round of drinks, literally whatever you can afford.

The Fringe wouldn’t exist without the incredible creative souls who bring their extraordinary work to Edinburgh every year. It’s their dedication, commitment and sheer hard work that bring the festival to life.

They are the Fringe; we want to help them, and this wonderful festival, to continue for generations to come.

Crowdfunding has been hard work, but totally worth it! We are amazed by the response from our supporters and now our dream of taking our show to the Fringe is a reality.
