GivingTuesday Fundraiser is Live! Support RMM Today

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 13:30:00 GMT

Good morning!
It's finally here! It's GivingTuesday and Red Mountain Makers Fundraiser is LIVE. We'd appreciate any support, and one of the easiest ways to contribute is to share our fundraiser on social media to help get the word out about the ways RMM is trying to build on and improve our space and reach within Birmingham.

The best way to spread the word is to share this status on Facebook, or this link on other social media sites. Posting or sharing is a free way to help show your support for RMM.

Donate to RMM's GivingTuesday Fundraiser

As a reminder our goal is to raise $6,000 to increase accessibility at our space. To do this, we plan to use funds to make the following changes:

Adding small ramps to the main and metal shop doors
Adding a large 18ft ramp to connect the split levels of the space
Adding railing to the ramp near the metal shop

We want to thank everyone for their continued support in making Red Mountain Makers a successful hub for creativity in Birmingham thus far, and we can't wait to see where we go in the future.

Happy October!

We've got some exciting updates, news, and upcoming events to share with you all! Make sure you also check out our updated class offerings below to learn a new skill or gain more experience.

Grand Opening Recap

We want to thank everyone yet again who made our grand opening and online auction such a success last month! We wanted to share some of what you helped accomplish. We were proud to surpass our goal and have over 105 attendees to our event, raising $1058 dollars.

Space Updates

Through our GoFundMe, grand opening event, grant awards, and more, we've been able to invest over $90k in renovations to the space! Below are just a few of the improvements we've been able to make in the last few months:

Completion of "phase 1" air conditioning in common areas
Flooring completed
Windows painted and in the process of being replaced

With that being said, we still have many improvements still left to make! In the future, we'd love to be able to make our space ADA compliant, have drywall ceilings, make classroom renovations, complete part two of the floors, and much more!. Fundraisers like our upcoming Giving Tuesday help make these goals a reality.

GivingTuesday is November 29th!

For those of you that don't know, GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. To spread awareness and support nonprofits, Facebook matches all donations made ON GivingTuesday. We're gearing up to participate, and will have more news for you soon on how you can help support us and our goals in creating a more inclusive, accessible, and creative space.
