Just because I want to make a point (which is that people are willing to
sponsor MSA for events, as long as you just ask!), here are the finances
specifically on the ethical meat workshop (gif at the end):
-
$1000:Funding proposal sent by February 4 including
honorarium($500+$250 for traveling and housing expenses), bernath
fee($100), and student graphics($150) for a total of $1k
-
Almost had funding pulled because of tardiness by Shaykh for
answering emails and signing contracts. For future reference,
after funding
is approved, guest speaker must first sign a contract with WSU, then
afterwards submit a W9 by the deadlines given by DOSO. When
DOSO pulled the
funding, 4 of us had a meeting with Devon Stark, and our
numbers, passion,
and reputation of quality events and professionality
convinced her to give
it back.
-
$350: During the week of Spring Break(not many customers), Marwa and
I went sponsorship hunting to the local halal joints on campus. Pitch was
they’d get shout outs on social media and at the event+cards/menus in
goodie bags. We would ask to speak to the manager, have a seat, show them
the flyer, talk about who we are, why it’s important, and what they would
benefit from sponsoring). Only La Pita paid upfront, everyone
else required
a follow up after a week to pay. Everyone took a week to get us their
cards and coupons.
-
Blimpes (Nick at blimpieman@xxxxxxxxxxx) $50+ free drink coupons
-
La pita (Maria) $100 +15% off coupons)
-
Harmonies Express(Abu Ashraf/Taher, one of the founders of MSA)
$100
-
Sy thai (gosythai@xxxxxxxxx ) $100
-
Epicurus-was interested but backed out because they were
sponsoring too many orgs in March
-
Maya’s-was interested but was unprofessional and inconsistent with
follow up
-
Expenses($216.36):
-
Easter Candy Sales at Kroger+kroger member card!
-
$147.66 for candy and goodie bags
-
$29.70 for program prints from UofM-Dearborn that were printed wrong,
reprinted for $19 at student center graphics. (2 programs/page)
-
$12 for Shaykh’s lunch+tea
-
$8 for gift(wall clock on sale at marshals)
THAT MEANS $350-$216.36=$133.36 REVENUE FOR MSA, SUCCESSFUL EVENT!
