### 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]
