Financial Transparency
When you sponsor Repair Café PGH, you can trust that your dollars and resources are put to good (re)use. We are an entirely volunteer-run organization that values financial transparency and sustainability.
Our goal is to raise enough money and in-kind donations to cover start-up costs and the first year of monthly events. Anymore raised than that will be used to start a fund for compensating our repairers.
We are not a registered nonprofit organization, but are potentially seeking fiscal sponsorship to collect and manage donation funds. Please contact us if your organization can help with this.
