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.
