Spanish term or phrase: para lograr un cupo
Hola,

El texto a continuación es parte de las actividades realizadas por un programa comunitario:

Se realizó un taller sobre género y sus generalidades, así como un taller práctico de cosmética natural; los cuales contaron con 45 participantes quienes realizaron donaciones en especies y monetarias //para lograr un cupo//

Traducción:

"... 45 people participated in these workshops and they provided both in-kind and monetary donations //to get a place//

Sin embargo, me gustaría saber si hay una traducción más adecuada y sobre todo que suene natural en inglés.

De antemano, gracias.

Reference: Cupo is not place

Reference information:
The word "cupo" does not mean place, at least in Spain. Actually, I don't understand what that sentence really means. It sounds as if they needed a certain number of people (that is llenar el cupo), bit it's a bit strange.d
