Build the audience. Build lasting support.

One role. Several paths to income.

I want the manager to develop the whole support base, with clear priorities and protected working hours.

I would approve budgets, creative direction, major contracts and funding commitments. The manager would own campaign schedules, follow-up, the sponsor and rental pipeline, grant deadlines and performance records.

The practical work

I want accurate event listings, coordinated performer promotion, segmented email and useful social content; clear recurring-support offers; defined sponsor benefits; timely qualified applications; and profitable rental bookings with appropriate delivery budgets.

I would choose two priority growth channels each quarter and review actual time at 30 and 90 days. Production shifts, cafe coverage and unlimited event delivery are outside these 25 hours. Delivery labor is priced separately.

A fully costed six-month trial.

I propose $22 gross hourly base pay, plus a 10% commission on eligible new private-rental contribution after direct delivery costs.

Ongoing cost after the trial

Base wages and employer allowance total $33,176 annually. With $9,000 marketing and $1,200 tools, recurring fixed cost is $43,376 a year, or $3,614.67 per month, before earned rental commissions. The $1,500 setup cost is not repeated.

The 16% allowance is a planning estimate; health insurance is not included. Gift and grant work is paid through base wages. Commission applies to agreed commercial rentals, not donations or grants. Attribution, refunds, repeat business and payment timing would be documented before hiring.

What the role must generate.

I evaluate the full mix of incremental contribution, rather than making rental bookings the only measure of success.

These are additional paying accounts and attributable ticket purchases, not current customer counts. Each rental retains $442; an extra $15 paid admission retains $3.50 after a 70% artist share and $1 variable-cost allowance. Gifts retain 97%; memberships and sponsors retain 87% after modeled fees and benefits. Grants and added concessions are excluded.

Role coverage and venue sustainability

The mixed illustration covers the role but leaves $732.49 of the historical monthly venue gap uncovered. The stronger illustration leaves $1,418.51 after that gap. Q3 2026 shows a $1,202.33 monthly gap including estimated cash receipts; excluding those estimates gives $1,990.33. Those are historical comparisons, not a current cash forecast.

Founder working pay is separate from this $35,000 budget. I would fund it through the broader plan or a separate approved agreement; it is not included in these role-only results.

Evidence before renewal.

I would review progress at 90 days and decide at six months using reconciled results and the next 90 days of usable funding.

The opening ramp is part of the risk

The original six-month mixed ramp retains $13,103.80 against $23,188 of fixed trial uses, including setup. It consumes $10,084.20 of trial funding before other venue needs. Month six reaches $469.83 after recurring role cost, but the final three months together remain negative by $668.85.

I would count received support only for its permitted purpose and period. Pending applications, pledges, gross ticket revenue and restricted funds assigned elsewhere cannot fund this role automatically. Any remaining trial funds stay subject to funding terms and existing obligations.

A clear role for your capital.

I would like to agree the funding structure and the contribution you want to make to this stage of Glow Hall.

Your participation

You could help with commercial oversight, introductions to employers and arts supporters, sponsor development or a defined advisory role. I would provide monthly receipts-and-cost reporting, campaign and pipeline results, and the 90-day and six-month reviews. Any paid operating role would have separate duties and compensation.

I propose to defer repayment of my verified founder financing until recovery of agreed new investment capital, subject to our signed terms and creditor rights. Operating obligations, approved pay, taxes and required reserves come before distributions. The separate $210,000 partnership proposal offers 49% only at full package funding; those terms do not automatically apply to this stage.
