Hello! I have opened a new chapter from a national nonprofit organization. My first event is a 5K Fun Run and I need to open registration EXTREMELY SOON (like the goal was June 30th). I am using RunSignUp to collect registration fees but I don't know what bank account to collect it with. I can't send it directly to the national nonprofit because I need to keep some money to offset event venue expenses. Should I use my personal account or just create a generic new account and collect form there? I have reached out to many nonprofits and run clubs for fiscal sponsoring and they have all said no.

Any recommendations?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but here goes nothing. I recently started a new non profit chapter in my community and our first event is a 5K fun run fundraiser this August. Our budget is very tight as we are new and finding sponsors has been very hard. We cannot do professional timing but we are planning on giving out T-shirts and medals.

We plan on making registration $20-25 and want to hear runners' opinions on if this price is fair and/or what I can do to make this event worth the price.
