HONORARIUMS


REQUEST FUNDING BEFORE THE YOUNG REPUBLICANS TAKE ALL THE STUDENT ACTIVITY FEES

Keith donates the honorariums to Food Not Bombs. Talk with the leadership of your school's student groups and ask them to request an honorarium and transportation funds from the Student Senate. It is good to do this as soon as the fall semester starts. All of your school's honorarium will pay for the work of Food Not Bombs. Schools have provide from $500 to as much as three thousand dollars for our presentation.

The honorariums are used fund the global coordination office and to provide resources for local groups like large cooking pots, bike carts, bulk dry goods, printing, and to fund gatherings and other special projects. We have relationships for discounted cooking equipment, solar ovens, as well as bulk food and bike carts. Honorariums provided by campus organizations have financed Food Not Bombs gatherings and support local groups by providing bulk food for anti-globalization protest, tent city occupations, base camps at efforts to stop the distraction of the environment and other large events that might need financial assistance. The video we show on Africa is a great example of our using an honorarium to help Food Not Bombs. The van and cooking equipment shown in the video was purchased with speakers fees from several colleges.

It is important to seek funding as soon as the school year starts before the student senate gives away all of the student activity funds. You can ask student groups to request funding from the student senate. We are happy to help you navigate your schools bureaucracy. Many clubs like Amnesty International, SDS, Student PIRG, the Progressive Student Alliance, National Lawyers Guild, Anti-Sweatshop campaigns, Oxfam, Student Peace Action as well as animal rights clubs, and campus vegan and vegetarian societies have co-hosted the presentation. These clubs will join together each requesting $500 or more to provide transportation, housing and a speakers fee.

It is also possible to ask the chair persons of social science departments, environmental studies, history, political science, law and many other Food Not Bombs related subjects for funding. Department heads can donate aout $300 for a guest speaker to talk to their students.

Many schools donate around $1,500 with several student groups each pitching in $500 or more from their yearly budget. Several student senates have provided as much as $3,000 for the presentation. It would be wondeful if you were able to raise even more so see what you can do. Contrast these modest fees to those requested by Republican student groups which are often as much as $20,000 to $35,000 per speaker. (See links below) Your student senate will not be surprised if your club requests a few thousand dollars as they provide thousands more to bring in far right speakers.

We have a small advisory group to help determine where the funds should go. A small amount supports the office that is focused on supporting the creation of new Food Not Bombs chapters paying for the phone, web hosting, some transportation, printing and such.

The presentation is free to all Food Not Bombs groups. Consider bringing the tour to your school and at the same time contacting your local Food Not Bombs group other community group to organize a free presentation off campus.

Typical honorariums requested by Republican student groups.
Conservative student organizations often request large honorariums for their speakers. Student governments are comfortable providing fees of $20,000 to $50,000 or more for speakers requested by student groups like the College Republicans. Student Union has invited Alberto Gonzales to speak at Washington University for $30,000.
Disgraced former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is being paid $30,000 by the Washington University Student Union to speak on our campus
