Try to focus on local sponsors -- especially those who can actually attend the BarCamp and participate in some way. (Source)
Limit cash contributions
Used to be $250, recently was $300 at BarCampBlock
This is great because it means that no one "owns" BarCamp, and we get to keep the great community vibe. (Source)
Many small sponsors are better than a few big ones.
Request that our sponsors order food and other food stuff directly, minimizing the organizer's duties and responsibilities as well as the amount of money they touch. (Source)
Chunk (or microchunk) your sponsorships. Break your budget items into manageable chunks that companies can "adopt". For example, let one company pay for the lunch, and another for shirts, etc. Chunking is nice because it means the companies can write checks directly to the vendors, and you never have to touch any cash. This limits your personal liability and makes companies feel safer. (Example: BarCampRDU, Source)
Transparency: List all incoming donations (cash and in-kind) as well as all outgoing costs on the wiki.
If you have questions or experience problems, please report them to the BarCamp support forum. For issues related to this wiki, please see the PBWiki Support Forum.
