That chat was one of the things that made the brand stand out in a scene where harm reduction was either ignored or performed as a logo on a flyer with no actual support behind it. + +When the operation moved to NYC, that ethos formalized into a partnership with SafeRaveNYC, a 501(c)(3) that provides harm reduction services at events. The partnership is not just a donation. It includes a physical table at events with fentanyl test strips and trained support volunteers, social media cross-promotion, mailing list integration, and the SafeRaveNYC logo as a permanent element on event flyers. + +## Why 5% after ad spend, not gross + +The typical profit split for our events allocates 10% to charity. But the donation is calculated after covering real expenses — venue, sound, DJs, marketing. The 5% SafeRaveNYC allocation specifically kicks in after $1,500 in ad spend is covered. This protects the operation from donating itself into insolvency while ensuring the charity receives meaningful support when the event is actually profitable. + +The full expense waterfall: venue first, security second, ads third, staffing fourth, DJ fees fifth. Charity comes from what remains after the operation is sustainable. This sounds less generous than donating off the top, but it means the donations actually happen consistently because the operation survives to run the next event. + +## Harm reduction as business strategy +Diff truncated (52 lines total).
