2026 Annual Budget Breakdown
Hello friends! Thanks again for your support during the membership drive! It made a difference every time one of you donated or shared. With your help, we raised $15,464!!
This is enough to hold the in-person event, but not enough to cover all our expenses for the year. We got close though, so we’re hopeful that we’ll make up the rest in sales between now and the summer event!
So why do we need all this money? Where does it go? In honor of Tax Day (a little belated), here’s an itemized breakdown, followed by a pie chart version!
- $8,250 Venue Rental - a place to have our convention
- $2,207 Equipment Rentals - tents, sound baffling, transport van
- $1,250 Merchandise - membership add-ons like t-shirts & stickers
- $972 Technology - web hosting, email services
- $855 Administrative - event insurance, licenses, business taxes, storage unit
- $850 Event Taxes - taxes on admission, item sales
- $765 Event Supplies - outdoor lights, registration supplies, game supplies, signage, refreshments
- $612 COVID-19 Safety Supplies - tests, masks, air filters
- $500 Scholarships - scholarship travel stipends (5 at $100 each, details coming soon!)
Total: $16,260
Speaking of making up the rest of our budget in post-drive sales, advance ticket sales are now open! If you missed the membership drive, check out our Membership page to get tickets to attend Friday, Saturday, or Sunday—or all weekend.
Thanks again for your support! Without you, we wouldn’t have this amazing community or the convention.
