Autonomous, 

Would you be interested in teaming up with me to work this out?  I'll be at the Omni next week for the Sudo and Omni meetings to try to get the ball rolling. I have two bands already confirmed.

I don't know the specific codes in Oakland but <100 people generally means it's a "private party" with no special permission needed. You could get away with much more if there aren't many people milling about outside.

4 events per month x 99 attendees x $20 cover charge = $7920/mo gross income.

Agreed! Several edm event coordinator friends have asked me about this. I've heard holding this type of event at Omni is be tricky atm though. Oakland needs more edm events.

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/Tenant	Rent	Utilities
BAPS	1000	N
Sudo	2000	Y
CCL	2000	Y
Phat Beets	750	Y
Rise Above	600	Y
TIL	300	Y
Durga Press	75	N
Publication Studio	100	N
Vouched Books	75	N
MPM	600	Y
FNB	0	N
LL	100	N
LM	300	N
GWS	350	?
CDP (meets weekly)	50	N
Total	8300	6-7 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.
