Thread Name: Fair Rates for Doing Workshops?
Subject: RE: Fair Rates for Doing Workshops?
Depends on many factors. Are you asking for the fee which an organization will give you, or for the fee the persons attending the workshop will give? In many situations, if I know the minister (or another member of the church) well, I ask what their budget might allow, keeping in mind my travel & lodging expenses, etc. If I am missing what I would normally be earning to be there, then that should be a part of it. If you are asking an atendee to pay, then you need to consider aproximately how many persons might be attending. $100 plus expenses is often a standard amount given to the workshop leader for a workshop at a medium sized church. At a large church which can well afford to pay for services rendered, then think upwards toward $250 or more, depending upon the preparation time, and the material handed out. Be sure that your handouts are copyrighted by you, or that you have permission to use them. If it is your own material, you can bet that someone is most likely going to plagerize it--especially music!
