But, membership in Tech Valley Center of Gravity is not simply a fee-based transaction.
We are a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization created for the benefit of the public and all of its members. Membership is both an investment and a responsibility. Members have a say in how the organization conducts business by voting in our annual election of officers and directors, as well as on proposals raised at periodic general membership meetings. Members also receive various additional benefits, depending on membership level, including discounts on classes and eligibility for storage options. See the options below to learn more.
We are committed to reducing the barriers to making, including the barrier of cost. Financial support for memberships is available through our Community Access Fund; learn more here.
All new memberships require a one-time $25 start-up fee to cover administrative costs, access fobs and safety training. This start-up fee will be automatically combined with the charge for your first month of dues if you sign up for a membership online. All billing thereafter will follow the pricing structure laid out below.
