### Fundraising
- Don't aim for Low 100s, aim for 1000s
- Try to start local before you go national
- Find value of the items online
- Ask people to send an email that just confirms that they've supported your thing
- Receipts receipts receipts
- You have to break even with any event so don't spend above your means
- Start working on fundraising plans on the summer or early September
- Get a routine and regular events, like "We always have PyCon every Nov"

### Sponsorships
- Try to stick to your guns
- You can use existing sponsorships to get special apps
- Consider establishing separate packages with different promotional tiers
- If you get items, get them sent to the C&S office
- You can take a picture of the receipt that comes with those items
- You can then show that reciept as income, even if the company didn't give you cold hard cash
- Follow other clubs and societies with what they do
- Ask that, if there are customs fees, can the other side cover it
- It's totally worth asking from international folks, but make a good offer
- Sponsorship proposal:
  - Introduction
  - Benefits to Sponsors
  - What you can offer [Consider sponsorship packages]
  - Call to action
- Income HAS to be 50% of expenditure or else you get your budget obliterated
- Create induvidual canva docs for each package [sounds like a pain]

- Official PRO position: CANVA IS CRINGE. CANVA USERS GET EATEN.
