Dude most drug dealers are workers, they often don't have a choice other than deal because porky took away all the jobs. Especially in poorer black and Hispanic neighborhoods, they don't have a choice. We need to get drug dealers on our side, they're workers just like any others.
Remember that the cocaine trade is what keeps thousands of South American families alive in a fascist hellhole.

Also listen to this Zizek rant where he's responding to an audience member complaining about the cost of attending a communist conference. Zizek goes "because it's a conference about communism and there was no good George Soros to give us any money!" So, you know, don't worry about the source of the money opening you up to being co-opted or whatever. Just take the money where you can get it.

And when I talk about women, I don't know why they dominate the philanthropic industry but they do. There's this big industry of many billions of dollars with all these people who are just professional fundraisers, and something like 80 percent of the people in the industry are women. So I'd think about ways of tapping that rather than sticking up drug dealers for your Maoist cell, but I don't snitch.

Trade unionism is a tested method of both recruiting people to the socialist cause as well as raising the funds needed to operate as both a trade union and as a political party.

What do you need the funds for? Things: You need money. Services: You need people, with money only being one way of getting them. An organization can do stuff with things and people. It's good to make a habit of thinking regularly about what you can do without any money if you have enough people. Even if you have a bit of money and the current trend is that it's increasing, you should think about it, or you will get into bad habits of mind. You don't have a perfect and fixed list of things that need to be done, you are thinking about it and modifying it, and thinking too much about it in money terms will screw with your head.
All big groups have, in theory, quite some wealth simply by having people, even if these people are poor and don't have any rare talents. The potential is wasted. The questions that need to be asked seem utterly obvious to me, and yet it usually doesn't happen. I have some experience with a party, talked with other people in other parties about theirs, and I'm also a member of a union. Only the union bothers with these questions, and it does so only in a rudimentary way. What I mean is: At which times can you be available? Do you have a car? What is the upper limit of how much time you can give per month? Are you comfortable talking to people and with doing canvassing? Can you help us with moving heavy stuff? Are you willing to consider taking part in (non-violent) civil disobedience? Can you help with translations? Any other particular things you could help us with? Put that in a database.
As for getting money, here's utterly generic advice that has nothing to with parties specifically: It's not just the average size of the group's income that matters, but also volatility. Can you seriously plan for something one or two years into the future based on what the income stream is likely going to be? People rarely touch the setting of automatic deductions from their bank account. A stream coming from a big amount of people having set their bank accounts to that for regular small contributions is far more reliable than a stream of equal size that is coming from a small amount of big donators.
As for collecting money outside of that: People are social beings. They are far more likely to donate when there is a big picture showing the face of a human asking for money compared to only words-words-words. They are strongly influenced by how people act around them, so if they see people throwing coins in a hat, they are much more likely to do so themselves. (Likewise, if you start handing out leaflets on a crowded street and you start with a a combo of three in a row taking them, others will follow suit; and if three in a row say nope thanks, you will have a nope train going. People. Are. Social. Beings.)
Most people are visual thinkers, and find it far easier to visualize and remember things than activities or abstract concepts. "Give us money for uuuhh expenses" is bad. It's better to mention a concrete thing, show a picture of the thing, and have the money earmarked for just that. Of course, when you are in a situation looking at a donated pile of money that you have access to use for the particular thing you promised, you likely would have preferred to have fewer strings attached to this given pile. But this is the wrong way to think about it, since the willingness to give you no-strings-attached money in the first place would have been much lower.

When someone posts information and the only thing you give about is some meme, you're a childish /v/idiot.
That being said, trade unionism doesn't work. They only push so far, until eventually they either get what they want and stop pushing at best or start collaborating with the capitalists at worst like they have in Britain. Most unions in Britain are actually detrimental.
Really, there is no real answer to the fundraising issue. You just have to scrimp what you can.
