TWIN CITIES MAKER INC
Twin Cities Maker is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven community workshop that provides affordable access to tools, education, and shared workspace so people of all skill levels can build, learn, and create.
About TWIN CITIES MAKER INC
Twin Cities Maker is an all-volunteer, donor-supported makerspace located in the Seward neighborhood of Minneapolis (3119 E. 26th Street). The organization operates a community workshop with departments for woodworking, metalworking, machining, 3D printing/CNC, laser cutting, blacksmithing, and electronics, and offers memberships that provide 24/7 shop access plus regular public open hours and classes.
The group emphasizes low-cost, inclusive access and member-led teaching: community members pay modest dues, volunteer to run the shop, teach classes, and maintain equipment. In the last few years Twin Cities Maker has expanded public-facing programming and partnerships (including hosting outside adult-class providers at its site) and pursued community events such as a proposed Twin Cities Maker Fest to highlight local makers and artists.
Twin Cities Maker is tax-exempt (501(c)(3)) and maintains regular Form 990 filings; recent financials show the organization operating at a modest scale while preserving reserves to support programming, equipment upkeep, and community events.
