Wanting a photo for a fundraiser

nitewag

A high school band has contacted me about using one of my photos I took of them at a recent competition on a community birthday calender they are going to sell as a fundraising project. I am happy to help them with the fundraising but would like to get a little more that what I normally would for a download or print since they are going to be reselling my work over and over. But since I am strictly an amateur and have only sold photos thru smugmug for personal use I don't know what to tell them and the calender company that they would be using. Any advice and or help on pointing me to some resources would be greatly appreciated.

You already have a price for a commercial download on your website? You have a price of $1.25. Now that someone actually wants one you want to charge more?

Redo your pricing before not after.

Since the band is wanting to use your photo for part of a fund raiser, why don't you consider donating the image--with the stipulation of course that your name/credit is included with the image. It would be good advertising for you, plus you would be helping a good cause. Also, if it is for a fund-raiser, I doubt they would be willing to pay you very much for the image. Making it a donation would be good for you and good for them.

Just my $.02.

Is the calendar company donating its services?

I give away several framed prints a year and honestly I make money every time... Its a school charity, put your name on it and call it advertising.

Thanks for the replies. They were thrilled when I told them it would only be cost of the download, and credit for the pic. Maybe I should pitch the idea of something similar to my own daughters school band.

AND it's a tax write off.
