Donations: Thank you to Blake and Graham for your donations. When they eventually discontinue, our appreciation will remain--here on the wiki, forever!


Special thanks (again!) to our anonymous benefactor for (earlier this year) donating $3000 through Fidelity Charitable. Your donation brought us 10 months closer to getting us to this point of having a full funded reserve! We are planning expenditures to help improve SplatSpace for our membership. This was tremendously important and impactful support--thank you.


Pending: SplatSpace's Charitable Solicitation License Exemption filing was due May 15, 2021, with the NC Secretary of State. I haven't yet filed our renewal for 2021, though I plan to soon. I've planned to soon for a while, though... :( Our past filings can be found by searching for "Durham Makerspace" at https://www.sosnc.gov/csl/search. We have filed late previously without incident (so far).
