There are other expenses than just compensating volunteers.
Lack of our legal entity need not prevent them from giving publicity in
media, which on our own we cannot do. It need not be an ad, just a press
realease/press meet will go a long way.
last time we needed money we collected about 12000 in 10 minutes.
True - if we want to avoid the whole rigmarole of setting up a legal
entity, I believe raising funds for a specific purpose is ideal - that
way, people can contribute to events which are truly helpful in their
opinion, provided the members who are directly involved with organizing
the event (and are requesting for funds) give an outlay of proposed
expenses. This gives the all of the members to suggest alternatives if
something seems too expensive (for e.g: I'm not so sure about press
meets, but I'd gladly contribute for posters and other material).
Of course, I guess the contributors will also expect a run-down of
actual money spent, and who is handling the leftover monies. If we can
take care of these things, I think raising money for specific events
should not be a big issue.
Vamsee.
