Do I have to be a member to support Noisebridge?

Not at all! You can always make a one tme donation when you feel inspired, or you can set up a monthly donation for $10/mo $20/mo$40/mo$80/mo or any amount you like. Although, if you sign up to become an Access Member, which requires a monthly donation/dues, you also get 24-hour access. Lots of people don't want to become full Core Members, which can be a long process to achieve, but they still want to give something to Noisebridge and the community.

You can also support Noisebridge by volunteering, or by Being Excellent and encouraging others to do the same.
