In 2010, Davenport announced that he would be crowd-funding his Broadway revival of "Godspell". "Godspell" was the first Broadway production to use the crowd-funding model. Previously, Broadway investing was open to only accredited investors, who would ordinarily invest tens of thousands of dollars. In comparison, "Godspell" was largely funded by 700 investors (called "People of "Godspell"") who were able to invest amounts as small as $1,000. Davenport was lauded for making Broadway investing accessible to "average people," and for helping to bring a new crowd of investors into the Broadway community.
