Howdy Hackers,
Noisebridge is at it again! Building community, investing in the space, hacking on big projects, it’s what we do.
In recent months, we’ve made large investments into the accessibility, safety, and usability of our 272 Capp Street location. Since our 2020 move (through the back window from the Mission St. address!) we’ve grown into the full 2-story, 6,000 square-foot location, just a few feet from 18th.
To kick off this month of September, we have a Challenge Grant of $5,000 from an excellent hacker. To gain it, we need your help to raise $20,000 to sustain the community, and grow toward thriving. Thus begins our larger campaign to reactivate the space and to build up reserves after construction.
Donate! You can donate
- by credit card at https://donate.noisebridge.net
- by PayPal at https://paypal.me/@noisebridge
- Donation matching through Benevity, if offered by your employer.
- Donor directed funds via the PayPal Giving Fund, and others.
For questions about the campaign, reach out to nbfinancewg@gmail.com (or, email our treasurer directly).
As a 501(c)(3), we are a nonprofit organization, so monetary donations are tax-deductible. Check with your tax professional.
After 16 years in the Mission, we are still going strong. Some longtime members bring their grown children to learn about hacking’s past and future. Come continue the tradition!
