There are a number of costs that are associated with running a hackathon including:
Food (We like deep dish)
Supplies (Pens, markers, paper boards, power strips)
Venue
Your time (Even if you volunteer, you’re still donating your time)
A variety of sponsors can help defray the cost of running your event. Reaching out to local businesses, community foundations, and startup groups is a great way to start. You can also get in-kind donations such as the use of the venue, food, and use of software platforms and hosted space.
Maybe we should look for sponsors for food? We have the Venue, we can contribute some to the food but a sponsor might like to have their name put out there.
