YOU ARE A GENIUS.

If anyone wants to start an events collective for the Omni, CONTACT ME! 

We need, at the very least, an execution staff to make events happen. I can coordinate and promote it alone, but I can't run security,take cash, set up tables, make sure artists have everything they need, set up audio/video, etc. myself because I haven't developed cloning technology yet, but SOON! 

We had a good discussion at last night's meeting and I'm currently picking a date and coordinating with artists. I'll be at the next Omni meeting to discuss getting everyone involved!

Hosting EDM events in the ballroom could more than make up for the cash flow shortage:

ugg, $2k additional expenses :(

i really feel renting the common spaces is our only sustainable & viable option at this point...along with hosting our own fundraiser events.

maybe if we had a prodution collective responsible for optimizing teh commons for events, we could get more for them ;)

Off the top of my head, here are some numbers...

Monthly income from collectives:
Collective/TenantRentUtilities
BAPS1000N
Sudo2000Y
CCL2000Y
Phat Beets750Y
Rise Above600Y
TIL300Y
Durga Press75N
Publication Studio 100N
Vouched Books75N
MPM600Y
FNB0N
LL100N
LM300N
GWS350?
CDP (meets weekly)
50N
Total83006-7 Y

Utilities are split evenly among the 6-7 collectives that contribute, roughly $375 each (or $2250-2625).

I don't have definitive numbers for event rentals, but it's somewhere between $2-4K/month.

Current rent as of November is $15,281 as our 12 month $1000 monthly rebate has just expired. This number includes property insurance, property tax, business tax and waste management charges. Adding the above utilities (gas / electric / water) our total monthly expenses are on the order of $18K/month.

We will be losing an additional $1K/month after Rise Above leaves in December.

There is often a finance report at the delegates meetings. Here is a link to the last one which answers many of your questions. https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2015/10/15_Delegates_Meeting#Financial_Report_Back

The kickstarter money is pretty much spent (and was specifically for building improvements not for rent) and we haven't gotten any grants in  while.

Are there any calculations of how much money we would need to raise in the
following months? if so, what will be the monthly goals?
Also, what are we currently raising per month?
What is the shortfall?
where is the money coming from?

events?
from collectives?
that kickstarter?
grants?

Who do I ask, if no one responds to these inquiries?
Just for the record, the best place to ask these questions is the
Omni's finance working group mailing list, which I've CC'd here.
