In addition to speaking, volunteering, and attending, here are some ways that individuals and organizations can support and help bring to life History Camp:

• Provide the space for the event
• Provide financial support so that we can bring lunch in--maybe even coffee and donuts in the morning--and get some t-shirts.  Barcamp will be free for all.  The goal of any donations from individuals or organizations is simply to break even.

Individuals 

• We'll add a donation mechanism to the site/wiki so that people can donate; we may provide a way to collect donations on-site.  When this is in-place, we'll send a note to the list.
• Boston Barcamp, which is a hugely successful annual event and was the inspiration for History Camp, has a model where people who donate $20 get the event t-shirt.  A small number of shirts are sold for $30 at the event.  (Those amounts may be off, but that's the idea.)

Authors

• What about having places for authors to sell their books and asking for a $20 donation?  

Organizations

• What about having a table to hand out material or do a demo in exchange for a donation (amount TBD)?  If you would like to participate as a sponsor, let us know.  (Lee Wright)  

Managing money and ensuring transparency

• As noted above, History Camp will be free for anyone who wishes to attend.
• Like other barcamps I'm aware of, there is no formal legal structure, and a volunteer handles the money.  If you're interested in being that volunteer, let me know.  (Lee Wright)   Whomever is handling this will publish an account of income and expenses here; other organizers and any interested volunteers are welcome to follow along or review after the fact.
