  • Cash / Check – If at all possible, we ask that you use Patreon to pay membership fees. Patreon bills on the first of the month, and this helps us maintain the shop with more regular payment schedules. If it’s not an possible for you, and you’re beginning a membership with cash or check, be sure to email the board to arrange a time to activate your membership and make your payment in person. Otherwise, activation of your membership may be delayed until funds are deposited. For recurring payments, a secure deposit box is available at the shop. Checks and payments sent through the mail may incur additional delays.

Please make checks payable to Eugene Makerspace

  • Bank / Credit Union Funds Transfer – This type of direct funds transfer saves us some money on transfer fees. Deposits can be made through Oregon Community Credit Union (OCCU) to the account of Eugene Maker Space – the spaces are important in this case.
  • Cryptocurrency: We will gladly accept donations of Bitcoin (BTC), however we cannot accept cryptocurrency for payment of membership fees.
