Apologies for the delayed response - many thanks for reaching out, Brandon,
and for your support of what we do!
We are always open to donations in the form of components/equipment/tools
and, at this particular point in time, especially funding! We are preparing
to file our 501c3 application within the next few weeks, at which point any
donations received can be made retroactively tax-deductible.
Our monthly expenses are on the order of $2500/month for
rent/utilities/insurance, and we're 100% supported by sliding-scale member
dues and donations. Currently, our monthly income is just slightly over
this amount, and we have no standing reserve funds.
If your organization would like to support sudo room financially, one-time
or recurring donations can be sent via PayPal or Stripe on our donations
page: https://sudoroom.org/donate/
If you'd like, I can notify you when we've filed our 501c3 application, so
that your donation can be made tax-deductible.
Many thanks for your support! It is much appreciated. :)
Cheers,
Jenny

Hello,
I reached out a few weeks ago, but to no avail. I understand that things
may be busy over there, so here is a second and final attempt. I’d
appreciate a response!
Thank you,

To whom it may concern,
My name is Brandon and I oversee community outreach and webmaster
relations for Newark element14, a leading global distributor of electronic
components. We take pride in our participation within the tech space,
frequently engaging with students, teachers, engineers, and bloggers. Our
goal is to support their efforts by providing them with complimentary
products and tools, engineer-written tutorials or content, and other types
of funding or support.
I came across Sudo Room during my browsing of
https://wiki.hackerspaces.org and I would love to support this
initiative. Open workshops, “think tanks” or “hack spaces” as they are
called are very valuable but underserved areas within the engineering,
technology, and design communities! I commend your efforts to educate and
empower community members.
Please do let me know if any support may interest you.
Warm regards,
Brandon Duchon
