If your event is NOT running the money through WordPress Community Support, PBC, then you’ll need to request payment for the Global Community Sponsorship grant that was determined when your budget was reviewed. Here’s how to request payment:
- Open this invoice template: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14KsGPKk9SlpH_xxTcdmtr4Crl-2Xp0u8UObVwkNJ5Ns/edit?usp=sharing
- Make a copy of the file for your use.
- Change the name of the file.
- Replace all the text in yellow with the information for your event and the entity you’re using to run the money for the event.
- Download a PDF copy of the invoice.
- Go to your WordCampWordCamp 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. Learn more. Dashboard and select “Vendor Payments” from the left hand menu.
- On the Vendor Payments dashboard, click “Add New.”
- Name the vendor payment “Global Community Grant” and fill out all the required fields (they’re pretty much all required fields).
- Upload the PDF copy of the invoice you created using the “add files” button. (Seriously, fill out all the required fields, or your payment might not come through.)
- If requesting the invoice be paid by wire, please fill out ALL the wire info accurately or the grant money might not arrive correctly.
- If requesting that the invoice be paid via PayPal, please select the Credit Card payment option and fill out the “specific type of payment” field with PayPal instructions.
- Submit the payment request when all the required fields are filled out correctly and the invoice is attached.
- The Vendor Payments queue is cleared daily, and you’ll be notified when payment had been initiated.
