FundRaising

Raise money on Kickstarter or Indiegogo.com

Examples of successful hackerspace kickstarters:

• http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nycresistor/a-hackerspace-grows-in-brooklyn?ref=live
• http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1040581998/biocurious-a-hackerspace-for-biotech-the-community?ref=live
• http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1895459557/unallocated-space-a-new-hackerspace?ref=live

Example of unsuccessful hcakerspace kickstarters:

• http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alphaonelabs/shot-blast-and-epoxy-floor-at-alpha-one-labs?ref=card
• http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alphaonelabs/alpha-one-labs-hackerspace-is-purchasing-a-jcut-40?ref=live

The unsuccessful ones were overly specific. The successful ones were about the entire project. I think we can pull off a $3000-6000 fund-raising campaign, easy. More if we have some larger goals like the green roof project or educational stuff for kids that might contribute to the city directly.
