Door Money/donations How much of a donation do you want to “charge” on the door ...........................
As a non-profit, non-commercial social space, we ask that you advertise it with a suggested donation as opposed to a charge on the door and not to exclude people if they are not able to pay the full suggested amount. We promote a policy of “suggested donation €€, pay more if you can afford it, less if you can’t.” For most late night events we would suggest €10 waged, €5 unwaged.
Contribution to Seomra Spraoi If you are collecting money at the door, we ask for a minimum contribution of 50 % of the door takings to go towards Seomra Spraoi for rent costs.
Other Costs Please can you give us a rough breakdown of how much your other costs will be for the event ...............................................................
Again as a non-profit project, individuals/groups should not be profiting/“earning a wage” from the event. Everyone working in Seomra Spraoi gives their time and efforts for free. Bands/ artists /contributors to the event can be reasonably recompensed for their expenses/contributions.
Please describe any other income that will be generated in the course of the event, eg. Contributions collected, sale of items/services
........................................................................................................
Benefit: After covering costs, and paying contribution to Seomra Spraoi, where will the money raised go to. Please describe the benefit and how money will be used ..........................................................................................................................
