> Hey all,
> tl;dr Noisebridge needs your help to keep the lights on! See bottom of
> email for links to help donate and keep us alive! Go to
> https://noisebridge.net/Donate !!
> Detailed email for those willing to scroll:
> Your favourite anarchist hackerspace in the heart of the Mission needs
> your help! Noisebridge's cash reserves dipped below the 3 month mark at
> the end of December. This means that we have about ~2ish months left of
> runway in the bank. AS IT STANDS NOISEBRIDGE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY
> TO GET THROUGH MARCH!
> THE STATE OF NOISEBRIDGE FINANCES
> Noisebridge has monthly outgoings in the order of $4,800. That's rent,
> PGE, water, trash, Monkeybrains and Sonic and other miscellaneous
> things.
> Our recurring PayPal income is approximately $1,800/month, with less
> reliable sporadic checks from employer donation matching.
> We need a mix of
>   a) lump sum cash donations to extend runway near-term
>   b) increased recurring donations to keep us afloat {medium,long}-term
> BUT WASN'T THERE A FUNDRAISER RECENTLY FOR THE REBOOT?
> I'm glad you asked. We raised just over $27k to put towards the
> Reboot work and bring Noisebridge back up to following inspection by the
> city of San Francisco.
> It turns out this was **expensive** and we needed all of it make
> Noisebridge compliant. If you've been at the space since November it's
> an incredible improvement.
> CALL TO ACTION!
> Let's put Noisebridge back in the black. With that in mind I'm setting a
> target of $5,000 in new *recurring donations* for February 14th 2015.
> This would put is way into the black and give us the ability to grow a
> serious rainy day fund.
> **WE CAN ABSOLUTELY DO THIS**
> Tell your friends, your family, the Internet! Send word via your Tweetmachines,
> share on Bookface! Let's tap the vast wealth of Noisebridge goodwill
> around the world.
> https://noisebridge.net/Donate
> I'll post to -discuss to update on how we're doing and will continue to
> poke you all via emails until we're saved!
> For those of you already donating please ask your employer if they'll
> match your donations to Noisebridge. Need paperwork? Email
> treasurer at noisebridge.net and I'll sort it out.
> Want to donate but don't want to use PayPal? Email
> treasurer at noisebridge.net and *we will figure it out*. We have Square,
> BTC via Coinbase, checks, cash, Dwolla.
