It was common in the past to ask people to chip in, but this will
reduce participation.
The 1000 EUR are to be understood as "incidentals" for lack of
concrete information. If someone comes up with a plan for an
integrative day trip that requires a larger budget, I'll help trying
to get that approved.

If we ask you to chip in for yourself, it probably won't be
tax-deductible. But if there is no connection between voluntary
donations and us funding the day trip out of commercially earned
money, then we can issue donation receipts, yes.
