Cahoots Workshop fundraiser

 

We’re fundraising to launch the Cahoots Workshop, a community space in Mount Cook, exclusively for women and gender diverse folks. Our goal is to raise $50,000!

It will be a place where the women and trans membership can go to work on their projects and attend workshops to learn new skills. We’ll have weekly office hours where non-members can come to use the space. We can even facilitate workshops for your community group. It’s going to be awesome!

Support the project via PledgeMe here: Build the Cahoots Workshop- makerspace for women & trans folks in Wellington! | PledgeMe
