[Organizers] Ideas for revenue BEYOND the door entry price

Hi fellow shared weight organizers :) Wearing my CDSS hat, I'm wondering ----> Does your dance have sources of revenue BEYOND the door entry price??? A few great ideas were shared at the October CDSS Executive community meeting in Toronto and we're looking for more! Do you have successful experience with: - sponsorships (individual/company/other) - grants - donations (collected at the dance OR one-off/ongoing donor programs) - other fundraising (e.g., pie/cake sales anyone?) - membership - merch … that make money? - special events … that make money? - other? I'm pulling together a curated collection of success stories on this subject for CDSS that will then be shared back out early in the new year. I would love to hear your ideas and if you know of someone I should talk to about this, please let me know. Thanks! Emily PS - I asked shared weight about posters/flyers last month and so wanted to update you that that collection will be available in January. I'm just waiting on a few more contributions.
