Film. Architecture<\/em>\u00a0was financed entirely from the organisers\u2019 own resources, covering all costs related to workshops, materials, printing and promotion. Starting wit Season 3 (2024), the project secured structured institutional support. The total budget of that edition amounted to\u00a0<strong>47,553 RON<\/strong>, of which approximately 87% came from the\u00a0<strong>Architecture Stamp \u2013 Romanian Order of Architects<\/strong>, 10% from\u00a0<strong>OAR Ia\u0219i<\/strong>, and 3% from the organisers through the NGO\u00a0<strong>ALT+A<\/strong>. More than half of the expenditure was directed to honoraria, accommodation and travel for invited speakers, while the rest covered printing and exhibitions, prizes for students, and basic logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Season 4 (2025) confirmed this model, with a total budget of&nbsp;<strong>53,636.60 RON<\/strong>. About 83% of the funding was ensured through the&nbsp;<strong>Architecture Stamp<\/strong>, 9% through&nbsp;<strong>OAR Ia\u0219i<\/strong>, while&nbsp;<strong>ALT+A contributed 1,885.60 RON<\/strong>&nbsp;and the organisers added a further&nbsp;<strong>2,500 RON<\/strong>&nbsp;from personal funds. Around 60% of the resources were allocated to guest lecturers and interdisciplinary content, 20% to printing and exhibition design, 15% to awards and student recognition, and the remainder to logistics and promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taken together, these figures demonstrate the project\u2019s steady transition from being fully self-financed to relying on a&nbsp;<strong>mixed funding model<\/strong>&nbsp;that combines institutional trust, NGO engagement, and the personal commitment of its organisers. This transparent framework highlights both the professionalism and the sustainability of SF(a) as a cultural and educational platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/sf-a.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/07_budget_stacked-1024x653.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sf-a.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/07_budget_stacked-1024x653.webp 1024w, https:\/\/sf-a.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/07_budget_stacked-300x191.webp 300w, https:\/\/sf-a.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/07_budget_stacked-768x489.webp 768w, https:\/\/sf-a.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/07_budget_stacked-1536x979.webp 1536w, https:\/\/sf-a.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/07_budget_stacked.webp 1654w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Season 1 (2022) \u2013&nbsp;<em>self-funded<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Total budget:<\/strong>&nbsp;covered entirely by the organisers\u2019 own resources.<br>All expenses for workshops, materials, and communication were supported personally by the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Season 2 (2023) \u2013&nbsp;<em>self-funded<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Total budget:<\/strong>&nbsp;covered entirely by the organisers\u2019 own resources.<br>Printing, promotion, and workshop costs were supported directly by the organisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Season 3 (2024) \u2013&nbsp;<em>funded by Architecture Stamp &amp; co-funding<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Total budget:<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>47,553 RON<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Architecture Stamp \u2013 Romanian Order of Architects (national):<\/strong>&nbsp;41,448 RON (\u2248 87%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>OAR Ia\u0219i:<\/strong>&nbsp;4,605 RON (\u2248 10%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ALT+A contribution:<\/strong>&nbsp;1,500 RON (\u2248 3%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Expenditure details:<\/strong><br>\u2248 55% for&nbsp;<strong>accommodation &amp; travel for guest speakers<\/strong>,<strong>honoraria,<\/strong><br>\u2248 25% for&nbsp;<strong>printing, exhibitions &amp; promotion<\/strong>,<br>\u2248 15% for&nbsp;<strong>prizes and awards<\/strong>,<br>\u2248 5% for&nbsp;<strong>logistics and coordination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Season 4 (2025) \u2013&nbsp;<em>funded by Architecture Stamp (Romanian Order of Architects) &amp; co-funding<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Total budget:<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>53,636.60 RON<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Architecture Stamp \u2013 Romanian Order of Architects (national):<\/strong>&nbsp;44,326 RON (\u2248 83%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>OAR Ia\u0219i:<\/strong>&nbsp;4,925 RON (\u2248 9%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ALT+A contribution (own funds):<\/strong>&nbsp;1,885.60 RON (\u2248 3.5%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Organisers\u2019 own funds:<\/strong>&nbsp;2,500 RON (\u2248 4.5%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Expenditure details:<\/strong><br>\u2248 60% for&nbsp;<strong>accommodation, meals &amp; transport of invited speakers<\/strong>,<strong>honoraria<\/strong>,<br>\u2248 20% for&nbsp;<strong>printing, poster production &amp; exhibition set-up<\/strong>,<br>\u2248 15% for&nbsp;<strong>awards and recognitions<\/strong>,<br>\u2248 5% for&nbsp;<strong>logistics, promotion &amp; volunteer coordination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Season 5 (2026) \u2013&nbsp;<em>funded through ALT+A &amp; OAR co-funding<\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Total budget:<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>45,000 RON<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>ALT+A (Architecture Stamp \/ association budget):<\/strong>\u00a035,000 RON (\u2248 78%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>OAR contribution:<\/strong>\u00a010,000 RON (\u2248 22%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Expenditure details:<\/strong>&nbsp;following the established pattern, the largest share covered accommodation, travel and honoraria for invited speakers, followed by printing and exhibition production, student awards, and logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Participants &amp; Outcomes Across its first five editions, SF(a) has registered\u00a0over 550 students and young graduates\u00a0from architecture, visual arts, design, and literature.
