WordCamps are back in full force! It’s such a wonderful thing to see so many active communities in the WordPress ecosystem organizing in-person events around the world.
Part of the organizing process is receiving income from ticket sales and sponsors, as well as paying vendors. For most WordCamps, these financial steps are handled by Central and WordPress Community Support WordPress Community Support PBC is a subsidiary of WordPress Foundation. It is created specifically to be the financial and legal support for WordCamps, WordPress Meetup groups, and any additional “official” events organized within the WordPress Community Events program..
For some communities, handling the financial aspects of a WordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy.

Some of the topics covered in this section of the handbook are:
Insurance Requirements
Creating Sponsorship Invoices
Ticket Sales when running funds locally
