Project talk:Hackspace 2.5/Fundraising

Reward Offers

If you would like to offer a reward item, that would be absolutely amazing, and is a brilliant way to help the space if you can't afford to pledge money. Let's make the crowdfunding rewards really show off what's amazing and unique about the space! Remember: time, effort, dedication and talent are what make the space the awesome place it is - money is only a lubricant! Mouse (talk) 16:01, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
