What goes into running a Malaysia Forum conference?
A lot. In addition to countless unpaid volunteer hours, we have to pay for the following:
- Rental for conference venues
- Conference equipment
- Food for conferences (Malaysian food is awesome, but not always free)
- Communications materials (print and web)
- Administrative costs (bank accounts, transaction fees, etc.)
How does this all work? Here’s where we get money:
- Registration fees.
- Individual donors. Comprising mostly MF community members, professionals and students alike.
In fact, for our past conferences, individual donor contributions enabled us to gather more than a hundred students each year for an insightful weekend of dialogue and connection.
We invite you to partner in our vision by helping to defray the costs of the 2010 and future conferences, using the Google checkout button below. We’ve set the system up to allow contributions in multiples of $15, $20 and $100. Every $15 contribution helps us sponsor outstanding costs for one participant ($30 helps two participants… and so on, you do the math!).
Thank you for your generous support!
