Here are some ways to
Support Tinker Coop
Tinker Coop thrives because of our incredible community! Whether you donate materials, share your expertise, or contribute financially, your support helps us keep programs accessible, fund special projects, and inspire the next generation of makers. Explore the many ways you can make a difference!
Donate Materials
Help us stock our makerspace! Some of our most popular items for creation are recyclables.

Have a large donation (amount or size) or specific items in mind? Please reach out ahead of time. We’re incredibly grateful for community support, but storage space is always limited.
​
Currently, we are unable to accept:
-
Plastic or Styrafoam
-
Items and devices in need of repair
Share Your Skills
Mentor young makers! Whether you're an engineer, artist, coder, or entrepreneur, your expertise can inspire the next generation. Lead a workshop, advise a project, or offer guidance or mentorship on a project.
Fund the Future
We work hard to keep enrollment fees affordable and ensure no family is turned away due to cost. Your donation helps provide financial assistance, expand access, fund special projects, and support long-term planning.
​
In addition to offering almost $20,000 in financial off-set to families this school year, here are some of the special projects Tinker Coop has been able to fund through generous donations:
-
Adding retractable ceiling cords to our makerspace
-
Upgrading Robotics equipment for our FIRST Tech Challenge team
-
Purchasing a desktop injection molding system to re-purpose 3D printer waste and other plastic waste to keep that waste out of the landfill.​
