Raising money

Possible sources of income:

+
    +
  • Contributions from individuals +
      +
    • put a contribute link on your website
      • +
    • allow people to contribute during registration
      • +
    • be transparent about your expenses
      • +
    • +
  • Contributions from companies +
      +
    • ask your community for contacts
      • +
    • focus on supporting the community
      • +
    • be creative about your offerings: logo placement, job listings, mentions in email newsletters, recognition during event, videos, etc.
      • +
    • don’t let the sponsors boss you around
      • +
    • +
  • Registration fees +
      +
    • free events are great—cost is not a barrier to attending
      • +
    • but some events really ought to have a registration fee
      • +
    • +
  • Grants
    • +
+ +
+
+

Paying for things

Option 1: Have contributors pay vendors directly:

+
    +
  • Pros: Requires no setup. Sponsors know exactly what their money is going towards.
    • +
  • Cons: can be logistically difficult. Hard to pool smaller contributions to pay for expensive things.
    • +
+ +
+
+

Paying for things

Option 2: Have contributors pay individuals on your planning team directly and then have those people pay for things.

+
    +
  • Pros: Requires no setup.
    • +
  • Cons: Can be difficult to track and is easy to abuse.
    • +
+ +
+
+

Paying for things

Option 3: Use an existing organization for fiscal sponsorship.

+
    +
  • Pros: Possible increase in contributions from 501©(x) status, ability to leverage existing organizational experience, an entity to write checks to and from.
    • +
  • Cons: A financial overhead of 15-20% is not unusual, possible lack of control, poor execution if the fiscal sponsor is inexperienced or unqualified.
    • +
+ +
+
+

Paying for things

Option 4: Start your own company or non-profit.

+
    +
  • Pros: Control, transparency of process. Setting up a company is easier.
    • +
  • Cons: It’s a lot of work and responsibility. And it takes time.
    • +
+ +
+
+

Paying for things

Some other caveats:

+

Don’t represent yourself as being able to take tax-deductible donations if you are not eligible according to the IRS. Make sure you sign up for a regular business account with PayPal and Google Checkout, etc., and avoid using the words “donation” or “donate” on your website and other materials.

Keep it safe, fun, and welcoming: codes of conduct, after parties, and considerations for serving alcohol

Unfortunately, the default in open source is not for events to be open, welcoming and safe for everyone.

If you want your event to be different from that status quo, you’ll need to actively work to make it different. Here are some tips for doing so:
