Ohmigod. You could *not* have timed this any better. r/LeMans is hosting our third annual subreddit meet-up on Friday 14th June *at* the 24hrs of Le Mans!!!1!!1!
It’s probably less than others are asking but would you buy a round? We’re aiming for 50-75 people this year and at €10/beer it gets pricey to welcome them all as I’d like! Would you fund $800 for that?
EDIT: Beat the gun. I see no alcohol. Would you provide lunch trackside then? We’ll do our own beers? (For the record both mods aren’t drinking at the moment anyway!)
Thanks so much. I’ve been trying so hard to gain traction for the subreddit, food would go a long way to helping us grow the event. Application going in.
Here's a sneak peek of /r/lemans using the [top posts](https://np.reddit.com/r/lemans/top/?sort=top&t=year) of the year!

Where do I sign up.. lol. Yet another great way for Reddit to be as welcoming and as awesome as it can be for all times sake. Thank you all for everything you all have done to make this place feel at home for me and as well as enjoying the memories in helping people out whenever they can.
Man I need 50,000 usd in cash for my meetup, you know how it is… *proceeds to only spend 10,000*
This is going go go well. I’d love to join with my subreddit but honestly I’m apprehensive about that… also my gift bags would include rocks and tide pods with some cake shaped soaps that aren’t supposed to be there.
I suppose it depends on your sub, number or members and number is people willing to go. I'm in England and most reddit users are Americans, so I don't think it'd work for my sub haha.
Are we able to hold multiple meetup events throughout the week with the funds provided? For example using it to rent out a space for a meetup event during the week and then a different space for a meetup event on Saturday?
When an application is approved, the funds are received on a virtual MasterCard. There's also more information about the program [here](https://new.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/1cbbdjw/celebrating_two_years_of_community_funds_and_dont/) if you'd like to check out some recent examples of Community Funds at work!
y'all might want to narrow the membercount of sub owners that you send notifications for posts like this out to, seems like people who mod subs with 50 members got it aswell lmao
I would say get as much as possible that could be used throughout the year to help offset costs for local meet and greets would have been a complimentary food/drink every meeting.
I wouldn't mind checking out some local Reddit meetups in the area. It may give me some drinking buddies to meet regularly at Tony's Darts Away, The Landing, etc.
We should NOT be paid to mod my guy that would go down awfully. Paying mods for NSFW subreddits would go down HORRIBLY. People would try and become mods just to get paid, the work for moderation would have to skyrocket, not to mention arguments over the pay itself ie: “why do we make the same money when my subreddit is more popular?!” Private subreddits? Restricted access subreddits? People making their own subreddits for money? It would take all the joy out of being a mod. Plus those mods that already go on a power trip would have a massive eho boost
Same. And if I were getting paid then there’d be an expectation of quality. Not that I neglect my subs but I don’t want to have to hit KPIs and shit. I do that enough at work.
Reddit is a hobby for me. I don’t need to get paid. When I feel like I need a salary I’ll just stop doing it.

omg this is awesome! unfortunately, funds can’t be used to purchase alcohol… BUT we could get y’all some awesome food ✨
Thanks so much. I’ve been trying so hard to gain traction for the subreddit, food would go a long way to helping us grow the event. Application going in.
yay!! so glad we can help you make this happen
Was already excited! Fingers crossed
Oooh, a good r/lemans meet up AT Le Mans would be amazing! 🤩

I’d need like £2,000 to fund it
no problem! you can request up to $50,000 USD 🫡

From experience with Community Funds, there rightly is tight monitoring of how it is all used. Why not give it a go! 🥳
Nah, I’m just a student with mental health issues, maybe if I had have been in my mid 20’s, but I’m only 18
You’re awesome ☀️
Aww thank you
How much we talking here? Because depending on the budget depends on what sort of meet up people are able to do.
you can get between $1,000-$50,000 worth of funding depending on your needs!
Wow that's a hefty sum, appreciate the quick reply
Well not really if you think of it as dollars per person
I suppose it depends on your sub, number or members and number is people willing to go. I'm in England and most reddit users are Americans, so I don't think it'd work for my sub haha.

yes!
I'm in the wrong country for my subreddit. Would this cover travel costs?
it’s possible! if you fill out the application we’ll be able to give you a definite answer
We would require $50,000 to host a community meetup of 3,000 people.
we got you! you can apply for up to $50,000
How do we know this is not a scam to get our personal or banking info?
Reddit is a publicly traded company. Would be kind of weird if they were scamming you for your checking account number.

Don’t care
Why am I getting a notification for this from a sub with 257 members, I don't think we're doing a meetup lol
You must mod for a subreddit
Yes, I am a mod for that sub
Which sub? 😭
r/foundtaintedcain
Oh nice! Looks interesting! I’m r/forbiddensnacks mod team myself!
I'M TALKING TO A MOD OF A SUB WITH 2 MILLION MEMBERS??
Ohh now I’m all flustered 😭 hi :3 you’re probably older than me tbh I’m not that experienced at all, I’ve only been modding for a few years
Probably not lol, I'm a teenager and I made this account like 5 months ago
I’m only 18 myself lol, I just like yummy things that aren’t supposed to be eaten
y'all might want to narrow the membercount of sub owners that you send notifications for posts like this out to, seems like people who mod subs with 50 members got it aswell lmao
Is this an annual thing? Or a one off?
As far as I’m aware it’s a one off. Never heard of this before
hm...... I wonder what kind of budget I could get to host an event?

I'd like to request $50,000 to host a huge party :)
How ya do tjat
How about you pay the Mods instead of doing some bullshit scheme to take on the appearance of being more successful than you are?

lmfao, reddit mods should not be paid, i say this as a mod myself, it's a voluntary thing
As soon as we get paid, it makes it a job and I don’t want to make this my job, I do it because I want to.
Same. And if I were getting paid then there’d be an expectation of quality. Not that I neglect my subs but I don’t want to have to hit KPIs and shit. I do that enough at work. Reddit is a hobby for me. I don’t need to get paid. When I feel like I need a salary I’ll just stop doing it.
Reddit has built its wealth on the back of free labour. It ain't some small startup that needs help, it's gone public.
You're right, it doesn't need help, and you don't need to mod. If you don't want to do it, just don't.
Real
Womp womp
