Honestly, it's a player's choice of whether they want to pay or not pay for the event. There are plenty of other events that won't even charge gil for participation, so my suggestion is to seek for those.Â
All of these events are really just optional thing for people to enjoy for themselves, but most of the fundraising purpose is to get FC housing or help them to make crafting gears and get materias for Zodiacs.
Most RP FCs that I've seen so far from their fundraising events have not done anything to "steal" gil from other players for their own personal advantage but to help out their FC to shape better.
Neither did Grindstone. Because you pretty much get your gil back if you win, but the entry fee is really small. You can literally earn 10k gil in a day or two.
