WRTC 2018 - Fundraising - a look at the current situation
Published: 20 March 2018

About a hundred days before the start of WRTC 2018, it's time to take a look at 
the fundraising status.

Rudolf DJ3WE, who took over the management of the fundraising team at the 
beginning of the year, informs us that so far donations of about €500,000 have 
been received. Rudolf has been part of the fundraising team since 2016 working 
with our major sponsors including YAESU and WiMo. He brings along the necessary 
skills for dealing with business partners through over 30 years of professional 
experience in various business positions.

Of the total amount raised so far, nearly €200,000 is from donations from some 
900 individual donors coming predominantly from Germany (74%) and North America 
(21%). In addition, around €70,000 were donated to us by amateur radio clubs. 
This includes €10,000 each, from DARC districts and local German clubs.

Tent sponsorship has contributed €65,000 to the sum. We received a further 
€75,000 from sponsored teams, i.e. competitors who pay to take part rather than 
qualifying through other contests. Companies have supported us with a total of 
almost €90,000. Direct donations and company discounts account for another 
€100,000.

Thank you to all donors and supporters.

Overall, our current finances cover approximately 97 percent of our estimated 
costs. However uncertainties exist, including possible tax payments due, so we 
are not yet quite able to say we have accumulated the required finances. 
Overall however it looks good.

We hope to be able to raise the remaining funds required in the next 100 days 
and look forward to receiving every donation large or small.
