I am working very hard to keep all of our websites updated and programs promoted (including promoting events and individuals' endeavors). If you can contribute in anyway, please do. Our monthly costs our over $300. Donations go toward website and promo costs and anything over that goes towards our community assistance programs. By clicking on the donation button on the LARPSpace.com main site page, you can also see more info on where your donations go (additional info at larpalliance.net). There are other big programs we're working on currently which I will be posting info up on very soon. Please help me out if you can! We want to break even at the least. This is a non-profit organization. We don't aim to live off of this, but we need to be able to keep it up and make it grow. Additional funds come in through from purchasing LARP Alliance T-shirts and products. But to be honest, we have only received a couple of small donations - though much appreciated. The total donations so far are $30.
If you continue to appreciate our efforts, please keep coming back and giving a contribution when you can.
Our last roadtrip to bring 20+ NPCs to a NorCal LARP event cost us $850+ to do and we only were able to cover some of that. We also donate weapons to needy players and big events that can use high quality promo items to boost their attendance. Additionally, we have our own supply of weapons and costumes that need touchups and replacing which we loan out for fighter practices and games.
So we're always in the hole and working extra hard at our jobs and sidejobs to support this in hopes that it wil eventually pay off and support itself with the help of the community. We are looking into insurance right now that we could offer to events that run under the LARP Alliance name. We are getting our non-profit status made official. We are creating a new program called LARP Quests which offers small line course adventures to the public to bring in new people using familiar, creative, and fun environments. There are numerous other LARP promo events we hold to make more people aware, educated, and feel supported.
We also look to be able to set up a travel group soon to go to a Euro LARP game or convention. Likewise, we also look to be able to set up a travel group from another country to be able to come out to the US to play with us.
You support and contributions (monitary, suggestions, physical assistance) is very much appreciated more than you know and we want to be able to give back more than we receive as always!
Thank you for joining us at LARP Space and we hope to see you soon!
Merry travels and good health,
Adrianne Grady
LARP Alliance
