Toronto Photography Meetup Group

So, I've just been asked permission to use one of my images for an event flyer (online flyer only i think). I've now seen previous flyers of theirs and the other images they've used in the past is outstanding so I'm flattered for sure!

Has anyone else had much experience in permitting use for event flyers and what compensation they've asked for/gotten?

I've been asked.

I asked their budget and never heard back

Ha ha, I hear ya, Borbor.

darn, too bad. It looks like no one has been able to share direct experience on pricing.

Update.

We agreed on a price for one time use. Should be a cool event so exciting! Althou i found out afterwards that it is also a charity event. Ooops. Does that mean im a jerk for asking for cash?

Not really. Charities still have administrative costs, which is why not 100% of the money they bring in goes towards the beneficiaries. Paying for your photograph would fall into the same category as them having to pay for a venue.

Which is exactly what you should pay attention to when giving money.
Sometimes they have things that stipulate for example and donation under $50 will not actually benefit whatever cause they support, or things like only 72% of your donation will go where you think it goes.

Yup, always look into the percentages. Some of the charities that have been under a lot of fire in recent years show that <50% of the funds they bring in actually go towards the beneficiaries, while the majority is spent in "administration".
