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"

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]

Consider using Canva Pro, but you need to pay 10/mo for it.
Official PRO position: CANVA IS CRINGE. CANVA USERS GET EATEN.
