How it works...

How it works

Financial Structure:

  • KFAR negotiate a flat, subsidized rate for travel, fees and equipment.
  • Overall cost is that is generally 20-30% below the overall standard cost.
  • Host organization provides a flat fee to KFAR to cover these expenses.
  • Promotional resources beyond the basic included package may be purchased at cost through KFAR.
  • Artists are sensitive (and starving!) If you raise funds beyond the already reduced cost of the concert, please do it subtly. If the artist feels they've been taken advantage of, it undermines our credibility with the artist and our ability to offer these programs.
Host responsibilities:
  • Sponsorship fee
  • Venue space, lights and power
  • Light refreshments and a secure green room for talent
  • Sound system, reinforcement and sound engineer (can be supplied at cost)
  • 6 event volunteers (merchandise sales, ticket sales, stagehands and registration)

KFAR responsibilities:

  • Subsidized talent fee
  • Talent travel and accommodation
  • Basic promotion package
  • Sound system, reinforcement and sound engineer (at cost, when requested)

Program conditions:

In exchange for a subsidized concert package, Host organizations agree to:

  • Place KFAR’s name and logo on all program marketing, promotion and signage.
  • Similarly acknowledge KFAR with a web link on emails and electronic.
  • Register all tix purchases and attendees for future KFAR event promotion.
  • Coordinate promotion efforts with KFAR to avoid overlap with other community events that make the SHIRIM programs possible.
  • KFAR’s SHIRIM programs presentations are is non-exclusive.
  • Some costs and expenses are offset through corporate and organizational sponsors, whose materials and presence may be part of the program.
