If you are organizing a meetup, and you are a volunteer who is not a Rep, contact the "keyholders" of your community space to find a Mozilla Rep who can submit the budget request. | If you are organizing a meetup, and you are a volunteer who is not a Rep, contact the "keyholders" of your community space to find a Mozilla Rep who can submit the budget request. | ||
You can also seek third-party (that is, non-Mozilla) sponsors for a meetup. For example, a thriving developer meetup can be very attractive to tech firms in your area who are looking to recruit new employees. You could give them the opportunity to make a 5-minute pitch in exchange for sponsoring refreshments. Be careful, however, to avoid tying sponsorship to the main content of the meetup. If attendees feel that they are hearing a sales pitch, or that their attention has been bought by a sponsor, they will quickly stop attending. | |||
