Purpose
The first step in raising money for a new home is to figure out what that home should look like. We need a set of realistic real estate constraints and a comprehensive financial model to set our fundraising goals, and to demonstrate to individuals and organizations that donations to the Noisebridge new space fund will be carefully and considerately used.
Noisebridge is pursuing two independent plans in parallel to be maximally resilient: rent and buy. This document focuses on renting a new space.
Real estate considerations
Requirements
- In San Francisco
- Many of our members use BART to get to the space
- Safe neighborhood for walking at night
- Sufficient space: > 5,500 square feet
- Acceptable zoning: we are a "Community Facility"
- At least 100A power supply
- Meets all accessibility requirements
- Elevator access or ground floor
Cost model
- Cost of acquisition
- Fundraising: we are consulting with a professional fundraising firm "Scandiuzzi Krebs"
- Rent: we are investigating many options, most of which are about $1.50 - $2.00 per square foot.
- Improvements and move
- Annual operating budget
