Why crowdfunding?

Performers and venues make the Fringe what it is – a celebration of creativity, risk-taking, and artistic expression. But getting there takes funding.

Crowdfunding isn’t just about raising money; it’s about rallying your audience, growing your fanbase, and making your show a reality. Whether it’s through donations, ticket pre-sales, or exclusive rewards, FringeMakers helps you bring your vision to life.
