Now that we're running a bunch of workshops, I would like to be able to donate some money to the Carpentries organization. What do you all think? @nsahin, how much is reasonable based on our finances?

By my rough math, we made about $550 after snacks and supplies from the most recent Data Carpentry. Maybe we could donate $100 to $200 per workshop that we've run so far this year?

I updated our balance, you can see it here. We spent around $200 for snacks per year and some misc expenses around $200 (stickers, etc.). If we have 4 workshops this year, we need to have at least $100 net gain from each workshop to compensate our expenses.

Bottom line, $100 is a good amount per workshop, $200 is still okay if we want to be super generous.

@nsahin or @lwjohnst86 - do you know if there are any rules about how our group can spend money? Should we ask for an invoice from the Carpentries?

I am not familiar with any rules but I can check if there is any documentation about student clubs. At grad student associations, there are no rules on spending money. Donnelly GSA gets $1000 per year, so I tried to keep our spendings around that much.
