====== Help InteresThink Continue ====== We are in **deficit**. To find out more about our situation, take a look at [[http://interesthink.com/wiki/donate#our_finances|our finances]]. We believe that the concept, audience, speakers and content are of value to you. We believe that this is a movement that the community wants to continue. As such, we are taking the leap of faith and we are asking you for your support. ===== Why is InteresThink Free? ===== InteresThink is free because ideas and passion should be spread to as many people as possible. It is our dream to keep our activities free forever. It is our dream to keep this open, free-flowing style of event to bring passionate people together. It is our dream to convince people that multidisciplinary conferences have a place in Singapore. We want to invite you to help us realise this dream. ===== Why are We Asking for Donations? ===== We are asking for donations because we want to keep our freedom. Relying on institutions and a major corporate sponsor may be restrictive. We want to always be able discuss topics and issues that are of value to society. Some of these issues may, at times, be deemed as controversial. Yet, we still want to have the liberty to bring up these issues and to have a meaningful dialogue. We see InteresThink as a platform for open and unrestricted dialogue that seems impossible. Your donations do not just help us financially. It also helps us know that we are doing something of value to you. In fact, we are looking for each and everyone of you to donate an amount. Each of your donation tells us that there is one more person out there who values our event. ===== Our Finances ===== ^ Item ^ Amount ($) ^ | **Income** | | | Corporate Sponsor | 150.00 | | Onsite Donations | 300.50 | | Cheque #1 | 30.00 | | //Total// | 480.50| | **Expenses** | | | Food | 1027.20 | | Pens | 160.00 | | Other Stationery | 29.50 | | //Total// | 1216.70| | Net Income/Loss | **-736.20**| More than 100 of you turned up for the event.
