| == Questions about our 2169 Mission Hackerspace ==
| |
|
| |
| === When is Noisebridge open? ===
| |
| Our space is open from 11am to 11pm. Those who wish to visit the space and need access are advised to contact an existing member, call our [[Payphone]] or check on [[IRC]] if there's any doubt as to whether or not anyone will be at the space. Also see our [https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/ Discussion list] for updates concerning short-term and long-term time changes, e.g., the Holiday Season and [[Reboot | The Great Noisebridge Reboot of 2014]].
| |
|
| |
| === Can I keep active projects in the space? ===
| |
| Yes! If you have something that won't fit on your shelf, it's best to get the approval of the membership to bring it to the space. Common sense should apply here.
| |
|
| |
| === What happens if I bring my tools into the space? ===
| |
| Members can keep personal tools and items on their shelves, which are kept separate from donated tools and items. Tools given to the space (not kept on shelves) are considered to be a donation to the 501(c)3 nonprofit, accessible to any member at any time. Donations are not returnable or refundable.
| |
|
| |
| === How do (junk) donations work? ===
| |
| Junk donations continue to be a problem in the space. If you want to bring something by the space, please check with members or on our [https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/ Discussion list] to get a general feel for whether or not it will be a good thing to hack. There are better resources for getting rid of your junk.
| |
|
| |
| === How can I donate to Noisebridge? ===
| |
| You can donate to Noisebridge in any number of ways, including '''PayPal''' (which allows paying from a bank account or credit card), '''writing a check''' to "Noisebridge", doing a '''direct wire transfer''', or '''giving cash'''.<br>
| |
| '''[[Donate or Pay Dues| Click here for more details]].'''
| |
|
| |
| === Are donations to Noisebridge tax deductible? ===
| |
| Noisebridge is an educational non-profit CA corporation for the public good, and we have 501(c)(3) tax exempt status. Donations and dues may be tax deductible, talk with a tax expert to have them see if the rules apply to your particular situation.
