A (US-tax-deductible) Way to Help Fund Autreat
This year, we've found that the Johnstown campus is going to charge a significant increase for Autreat. While we haven't decided on Johnstown vs. another location yet, we do recognize that Autreat's costs have increased a lot over the years, putting a strain on attendees. We expect to have to increase costs again this year, possibly significantly in some fee categories. We hate doing this, but it'...s not possible to run Autreat at a significant loss.
The only way to avoid or minimize this completely, short of a miracle venue dropping from the sky (unlikely at best - Johnstown, for instance, was cheaper than many other venues and charges us below-market rates, less than they charge many other groups), is for us to raise money that can be used to offset the cost of Autreat.
If you are interested in donating to Autreat, to help lower the costs of this event, your donation would be greatly appreciated. You can make such a donation via ASAN, if you indicate that you would like your donation to go towards Autreat.
ASAN will donate the full amount, minus Paypal fees (if any), to Autreat. ASAN is a 501(c)(3) organization, so your donation may have tax benefits if you live in the USA.
