Covid-19 Fundraising Campaign

As with so many other non-profit organizations, the pandemic has dramatically reduced our ability to pay the bills. With the help of our dedicated volunteers, instructors and generous benefactors we are hobbling along, but without your help we may not have enough money to smoothly go back to normal.

Usually, we would list a number of specific improvements to fund. But, honestly, we can use your help to just keep the rent and utilities paid. Our landlord has kindly helped us out a bit with that -- but as time goes on he needs to meet his financial obligations as well. Our goal is to secure three months of rent -- $18,000.

Chimera Arts is a member supported, non-profit community maker-space located in Sebastopol, CA. We have offered training, tools and services to our community for several years now. We’ve helped people start their small businesses, build personal projects, learn about modern fabrication techniques, and even fix their broken appliances – just to name a few. As with most non-profits, we rely on the generosity of our friends and community to keep the doors open. In this challenging time, please consider making a donation to our organization.

Please help us keep making alive in Sonoma County. Thank you!

How our crowdfunding works: your contributions immediately go towards our needs and are not eaten up by crowdfunding fees or withheld until campaign completion.

Your donations: we are happy to provide a donation receipt for tax purposes upon request, and we are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization so your donation is tax deductible (Chimera Art Space, EIN 46-1426443)
