Fundraising for your creative venture?

Hi All,

Thought I’d recommend a websites for fundraising since I guess people following this blog are interested in it. I’ve used it (but as a donor rather than to raise my own money) and it seems great. The site is Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kickstarter). It’s only for raising money for creative endeavors. A friend of mine used it to raise money for their theater group (to come to Prague and put on their show for Fringe Festival next month). They were only trying to raise $1000 and just sent the invite to friends and ended up getting almost twice that. I have to say part of the reason I donated was because it was so transparent and easy. Anyway, I’ll use it myself next time I’m trying to raise some money.

Will
