Tutorial: Revenue in Passport Events—How to Charge or Solicit Donations

Written by Chelsey Roney

This article is about the legacy Proxi admin app at map.proxi.co.

Revenue in Passport Events benefits the user because it turns their event into a self-funding or even profit-generating activation. By charging for participation or inviting donations, organizers can:

  • Offset event costs — cover expenses like marketing, prizes, and staffing.

  • Fund future programs — reinvest earnings into additional events or community initiatives.

  • Increase perceived value — when people pay to join, they’re often more committed and engaged.

  • Support local causes — donations can go directly to nonprofits or community projects, building goodwill.

  • Create a new income stream — especially for organizations running recurring events.

In short, it’s not just about running a fun community challenge — it’s about making the experience sustainable and impactful without relying solely on outside funding.
