Hello everyone!

My name is Mari. I've recently started coming to Sudo Room because I'm now an Oakland local and think that Omni is amazing and a great place that fills a void in the community. 

I'd like to organize a fundraising event for the Omni. I've been organizing gaming conventions and events for over a decade and I already have a few awesome local chiptune bands that are willing to play for beers and pizza. 

If we get things rolling soon, we can probably pull together a neat fundraising event in a month and a half or less if the whole Omni community gets involved. I'll be at the meeting tonight to discuss it.

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

Monthly income from collectives:

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.
