UC Makerspace isn’t a corporation, a franchise, or a pipedream—it’s our community’s next big thing. A place where you can weld your next masterpiece, cook up your family’s secret recipes, or finally turn that “crazy idea” into a reality.
We’re a gathering place for the doers, dreamers, builders, and bakers of the Upper Cumberland. Whether you’re the “Can-I-borrow-a-screwdriver?” neighbor or the “I-built-my-own-screwdriver” neighbor—there’s a spot here with your name on it.
At UCM, we believe creativity grows best when it’s watered by community spirit (and fueled by strong coffee).
We’re not just filling a building with tools and ovens—we’re filling it with possibilities. Possibilities for the hobbyist picking up a chisel for the first time, the teenager welding their first big idea, or the home baker turning a kitchen dream into a business reality.
We’re here to fuel local talent—whether you’re whipping up the next great cupcake, carving the next family heirloom, or welding together the weirdest lawn art in three counties.
By offering affordable access to professional-grade equipment, hosting hands-on workshops, and creating a community where encouragement flows freely, we’re planting seeds that grow into businesses, friendships, and wild new ideas.
And with your donation, you’re not just funding a building—you’re funding dreams, fueling futures, and helping the Upper Cumberland create something unforgettable.
Where Big Ideas Get Built (and Glue Gun Accidents Happen)
Where Culinary Chaos Turns Into Culinary Craft
From hobby bakers to future foodpreneurs, our certified kitchen is where recipes get tested, perfected, and sometimes spectacularly flamed. (It builds character.) Whether you’re chasing a dream or just chasing your next snack, our space is ready to support your delicious experiments.
Where Creativity Reaches Community (and Stomachs)!
Your support bridges the gap between sketches and reality. Every dollar puts another tool on a workbench, another oven in the kitchen, and another dream into motion for someone ready to create.
You’re not donating to a far-off cause—you’re investing right here, in your neighbors, your town, and the people who’ll turn Friday nights into craft parties, bake sales, and bursts of laughter echoing through our halls.
Access to tools, kitchens, and a supportive community should never come with an intimidating price tag. Your donations help ensure memberships stay affordable and opportunities stay open to anyone ready to build.
You’re handing a kid their first soldering iron. A retiree their first pottery wheel. A chef their first honest shot at launching a dream. You’re giving hope, confidence, and a platform to shine a little brighter.
Tools, kitchen gear, insurance, workshop supplies, safety equipment, and keeping the coffee pot full enough to fuel an entire makers' army.
Heck yes! If it bolts, sews, prints, mixes, cuts, stirs, or sparks (safely)—we probably need it. Bonus points if it’s shiny or makes cool noises.
Absolutely! Supporters will be celebrated at launch events, online, and possibly immortalized on a wall we swear we won’t let kids draw on (probably).
You bet! We have sponsorship packages ranging from "Name a Workbench" to "Official Sponsor of the Kitchen That Smells Amazing." Contact us to snag your spot!
Yes! Founding donors and early supporters will get first dibs on discounted memberships, VIP invites to launch events, and bragging rights that last forever.
We’re hoping early 2026, pending funding completion. If the community rallies, we swing open the doors (and fire up the coffee).
Of course! We’ll need helping hands for setup, events, workshops, painting, and maybe the occasional furniture assembly battle. (Bring snacks. It helps.)
Yes! Small monthly donations help us plan better, budget smarter, and keep the lights on without having to sell homemade fudge in the parking lot. (Though we might do that anyway.)
We’re working on finalizing nonprofit status! We’ll keep everyone updated. Once approved, your donations will come with that sweet, sweet tax deduction goodness.
Spread the word! Share our project, rally your friends, host a mini fundraiser, or just yell “SUPPORT LOCAL MAKERS!” from your car window. Every bit of noise helps.
