Ace Makerspace works because all members contribute regularly.
Support the Rebuilding Effort
Members made a difference!
We met our year-end membership goals and 50% of our fundraising goals!
These achievements are key to keeping Ace around, sustainable, and doing great things in the community.
Look for next quarter’s goals soon!
Spring 2022 Goal:
25 New Members
Support Ace by Volunteering
Help us get 20 more members before the end of June!
Outreach events are one of the best ways to get new members… There’s nothing like makers talking to makers!
Oakland First Friday Staffing and Prep
Workshops are more fun to give and go to with helpers! Great workshops get members. Workshop helpers often get 1:1 lessons during the prep day in tool use and more! So it is a win all around. Check out all the opportunities.
Spring 2022:
Raise $7,500
