I've been thinking about this for a long time and I feel stupid for not knowing the solution.
How should I accept money meant for operating costs for my local meetup community? Do I take it under personal account? Do I set up a nonprofit org? Am I overthinking things?
- I want sponsors to give $$$ to the community
- I want to charge attendees $
- I want to park and pool the money from the above sources somewhere, so that whenever needed, I could book a venue, print stickers, buy AV equips
@mariatta these things are one of the main roles of "Pythonbrasil" - the Brazilian org equivalent to the #PSF - it takes a 10% of any donations, and that is enough to cover operational costs, and then it works as an Umbrella org through which the money for most Python events in Brazil goes through.
I've even used Pythonbrasil to fill this role when organizing the non-directly-related to #Python #Libregraphicsmeeting in 2017
