Fearless Maker Scholar Fundraising Campaign!

A few dollars from you gets more kids making

We’ll cut to the chase: They can’t do it without you.

Decatur Makers meets a lot of kids and teens who are curious about our makerspace. They want to learn how to build computers, make crafts, work with their hands in wood and metal and electronics.

A next step is to get them into a class. Or, help them become a member of our community.

But that’s where it breaks down. Even though we’re priced attractively ($35 for a class, $150 for a six month membership), these young people can’t afford it.

So we had an idea: Let’s make them Maker Scholars! Raise $6,000 for scholarships!

That amount of money would buy a lot of classes, and quite a few memberships.

Will you support this campaign – with a gift in ANY amount?

Because they can’t do it without you.

P.S. – Know someone who agrees with: Young-people-should-put-down-their-devices-and-pick-up-a-tool-and-make-something? Tell them what we’re trying to do here. This kind of giving is SO in their wheelhouse!

P.P.S. – Martha is one of OUR Maker Scholars. So is Niles. And Jason is a mentor. This is a real thing. And their stories remind us why this campaign is so important.

P.P.P.S – Thank you.
