Yes. Brightworks Makerspace is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization - EIN: 41-3838455, and donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. After making a contribution, you will receive a receipt that can be used for your tax records.

Unless a specific donation type is chosen, contributions are treated as unrestricted and used where they are most needed to advance our mission.

Absolutely — we’d love that.

Brightworks is being built by a community of people who believe in hands-on learning, creativity, and making technical skills accessible to everyone. If you’re excited about the mission and want to contribute your time, skills, or ideas, there are many ways to get involved.

You can reach out by clicking one of the Contact or Partner With Us buttons on this page, send us a note at info@brightworksmakerspace.org, or simply stop by and introduce yourself if you see the space open. We’re always happy to have a conversation and learn how people in the community might want to participate.

Whether you’re interested in helping with workshops, sharing technical skills, supporting events, or just lending an extra set of hands as we get things up and running, we’d love to connect. Brightworks is a community effort, and volunteers will play a big part in shaping what it becomes.
