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!

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
