About Modern-Day Debate
Modern-Day Debate was started in 2018 with the vision of providing a neutral debate platform so everyone has their chance to make their case on a level playing field. We host debates on science, religion, and politics.
What We Need & What You Get
We have an overall goal of $2,000 to make this event happen! Costs to host this conference include:
Covering speakers' flights or gas to get to the conference
The cost of renting the venue each day
Covering the speakers hotel nights
Covering the speakers' food during the conference
*If we exceed our goal for this crowdfund, 100% of the extra funds raised will be used to fund our next speaking event.
Our Perks
Currently our perks are simple (check 'em out!). If you want to give feedback on types of perks we can add, we're always wanting to improve and appreciate feedback (moderndaydebate@gmail.com).
Risks & Challenges
If you don't get what was promised, we promise a 100% refund on your donation. There is zero risk for you as a supporter.
Our own risk is whether or not we can raise the funds, as we do not want to contact the speakers (which we already have) and not make our goal of raising the funds to pay for the travel costs (and venue booking) we promised. We are 100% determined to make this event happen!
