### What Costs What?

Quoting the [Software Carpentry workshop request page][swc-request]:

> Our instructors are volunteers,
> and so are not paid for their teaching,
> but **host sites are required to cover travel and accommodation costs for any instructors visiting from out of town**.
> The Software Carpentry Foundation offers three fee schedules for workshops:
>
> **Self-Organized Workshops: Optional Donation**
>
> Software Carpentry welcomes you to organize and run your own workshop
> without administrative assistance from the Software Carpentry Foundation by optional donation.
> In order to use the Software Carpentry name and logo at your event,
> we only require that you follow our curriculum,
> have at least one badged instructor teaching and co-organizing your event,
> and let us know that you're organizing a workshop.
> In order to help Software Carpentry continue operating and offering workshops around the world,
> we ask for (but do not require) a donation, and recommend $500 USD as a suitable amount.
>
> **Nonprofit Organization: $2500**
>
> If you are a not-for-profit, such as a university or government lab,
> the Software Carpentry Foundation will organize a workshop for you
> (not including instructor travel and accommodation costs) for $2500 USD.

Quoting the [Data Carpentry workshops page][dc-request]:

> The cost of hosting a workshop is both the Workshop Administration Fee and travel expenses for the two instructors.
>
> **Workshop Administration Fee: $2500 US**
>

> If you are a for-profit organization, such as a company, and are interested in a workshop, please get in touch.
>
> Partial or full waivers for fees will be considered on an as-needed basis.
>
> **Travel Expenses for Instructors: ~$2000 US**
>
> All instructors are volunteers, but the Host needs to cover their travel expenses.
> We work to find local instructors,
> but suggest that you estimate about $2000 for the travel, food and accomodation of the instructors.
> The details of how you will reimburse the instructors needs to be established when the workshop is scheduled.
