How can I help?
There are many ways you can help us achieve our vision of connecting people in Bern, here are a few of them, thanks so much for reading!
Help With Event Planning
We have a space to create events that bring people together and foster genuine connections, and we need your help making that happen! Visit our GitHub event issues page to write comments, give tips, contribute ideas, or add a completely new event idea!
Help At Events
You can also help at the events themselves: come early and help with organizing, stay a bit later to clean up, help welcoming new people, share ideas on how to improve things. Just expressing your interest in helping already goes a long way! It helps enormously when we have people around who have spent some time trying to understand the mission and the vision of the project.
💝 Financial Support
The rent is expensive - that's the main reason we need the money. We have a central place in Bern with a great landlord and no problems with the neighbors, and we'd love to keep it! If you have ideas on how to help the project financially, we'd love to hear them.
🎁 We found a creative way: We get 100 CHF, you get 75 CHF - everyone wins!
With Alpian, you can help us get 100 CHF without paying anything! Simply open a free Alpian account using our code PCC7HH and deposit 500 CHF. Alpian automatically gives us 100 CHF and YOU get 75 CHF as a gift!
How it works:
- Download the Alpian app and register
- Use our code PCC7HH when signing up
- Top up your account with 500 CHF
- We get 100 CHF
- You get 75 CHF
💡 Got creative ideas?
We're always looking for new, creative ways to fund the project! Do you have ideas, or can you or anyone you know help us with the existing ideas?
For example:
- 📅 Rent the space for events - Do you know of a company or organisation that needs a space? Perfect for workshops, meetings, or private gatherings
- 🤝 Sponsorship opportunities - Know any companies that support social projects?
- 📝 Grants & Funding Programs - Do you know of any programs? We're already aware of Migros Kultur. Or perhaps you have experience with grant applications or know someone who could help us?
- 💭 Share your ideas - Do you know of any other ideas of how we could fund ourselves?
