Jigsaw Renaissance is a program of School Factory, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and we rely on individuals like you to support our mission to create and connect fiercely collaborative makerspaces.

JR relies on the financial support of its members, as well as active participation of those who share our vision. Anyone who wants to participate in JR may do so. General membership dues are $15 per month. For $85 more ($100 total) you can get your own key to the space, with 24/7 access. We also offer a Starving rate of $50 to the unemployed, underemployed, student, senior, etc. Permanent workstations (including keyed access and general membership) are available for $200 per month, and let you keep a desk at JR, along with everything you can fit in/on/over/under it. Keyed access to the space is contingent on a vetting process of 2 weeks of participation and 3 keyed member signatures.

When you join JR you will be asked for a user name and email address for your web accounts and your @jigsawrenaissance.org alias address. You can find out more information for new members on our wiki’s community portal page.

If you are interested in joining JR, please email join@jigsawrenaissance.org. We accept cash or check in person, check via post, or PayPal/Amazon contributions via the buttons on the member dues page. We have member sign-up forms at our location on First Hill, or you can take a look at them here. Not sure if you want to join? Want a better idea of what we’re about or what membership is like? Attend one of our events, drop in on a Tuesday night, or drop by one of our open-houses on third Saturdays! Please see our calendar for dates and times.

Make a Donation

Membership is the best way to support JR, but we also gratefully accept donations of all kinds — tools and supplies, books… even cash. JR is a program of School Factory, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, so you can legally claim your donations to us as deductions when you file your taxes.
