Financial Part Of Get Out Today RVA

Since Get Out Today RVA was created in 2012, it has been totally free to join and totally free to participate in almost every event.  We have NEVER charged any annual or monthly membership fees to be a member.

However, it does cost money to own/run/organize a Meetup group. Meetup.com charges an organizer $200 a year. Then we have additional costs like event supplies, event rentals, and other items to help make our events successful. When you combine all the costs, it usually runs somewhere between $800 to $1000 a year to run Get Out Today RVA. 

To help keep costs down, all of gotRVA's organizers are volunteers and they volunteer their time to help you "Get Up, Get Out, and Get Active" with our group. Nobody gets paid, including me (the owner).

Occasionally we have a few events where we have $1 or $2 posted to an event. This is just a donation suggestion to help with the event supplies. We have never turned away a member because of a lack of money for those events.

You may ask... If it cost so much to run a group, How can it be free? I'm glad you asked. 

Each year, Get Out Today RVA throws a REALLY SPECIAL New Year's Eve Party. We rent a clubhouse, decorate it, create a dance floor, have lots of food, and of course a champagne toast at midnight. There is a charge for this event. The money that is collected for the party goes towards paying for the party, the Meetup fees, and any other gotRVA costs for the rest of the year. When you pay AND attend gotRVA's New Year's Eve Party, you are helping keep our group FREE.  

gotRVA's NYE Party is a win-win for everybody. You get to create memories with friends and/or family, You get to dress up all fancy for one night, You get to bring in the New Year in a fun and safe environment, AND you get to help out your favorite Meetup group, Get Out Today RVA.
