Waukesha Makerspace

Support the Space

Waukesha Makerspace is powered by volunteers, community support, and generous donations. Every contribution — big or small — helps keep the lights on, the tools running, and creativity alive for everyone who walks through our doors. We’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which means your donations may be tax-deductible, and they go directly toward our mission of providing access to tools, knowledge, and opportunity.

Donate In-Person

If you’re visiting the space, you can drop cash into one of our clearly marked donation boxes located throughout the makerspace, or give directly to a board member.
We especially welcome donations during our monthly public open house — held on the first Sunday of every month from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. It’s a great time to visit, connect, and give back to the space that gives so much to the community.

Buy Merch, Give Back

Purchasing items from our online store is another fun way to support the space.
All proceeds from T-shirts, Kwik Trip gift cards, and more go straight toward funding tools, materials, and community programming.

Donate Tools, Materials, or Supplies

We also welcome donations of tools, equipment, cleaning supplies, scrap material, and more. If it supports our mission, chances are we can put it to good use!
Since space is limited, we kindly ask that all in-kind donations be approved by the board in advance. Please email us with a description of what you'd like to contribute:

Thank you!
