Money
Dues that fit your culture
Flat fee, income-based sliding scale, early-bird ladders, build-and-strike discounts, hardship waivers. Record payments made by bank, PayPal or cash; nothing forces your camp through a payment platform.
What's inside · Money
The treasurer nobody wanted to be
Dues tiers, sliding scales, partial payments and a shared ledger, so the whole camp can see what came in and where it went. Transparency is how camps prevent drama, and worse.
Money
A ledger everyone can read
Every member sees the budget: shade, truck, container, fuel, water, food, art. When dues cover the whole and everyone can check it, the whispering stops.
Money
Reimbursements without drama
Leads buy things and attach the receipt. The ledger shows who is owed what, and the season closes with a settlement everyone has already seen coming.
Why this module exists
The average theme camp is around forty people paying a few hundred each, which makes a camp a five-figure operation run through one person's PayPal and a spreadsheet only they can edit. Camp leads quietly cover shortfalls out of pocket, and the community has real horror stories about a sole treasurer with sole visibility.
The fix the community itself recommends is simple: more than one set of eyes on one shared budget. burnmanager is that shared budget, with the dues models burns actually use.
Questions camps ask
Does burnmanager hold our money?
No. Your money stays in your own accounts. burnmanager is the record: who paid, who is owed, what it was spent on.
Is it really free? Even the money features?
Yes. No fees, no premium tier. burnmanager is a gift from the makers of festival.productions.
Can we do reduced dues for low-income campmates?
Yes: sliding scales, hardship tiers and waivers are first-class features, not workarounds.
