Help Us Build a Space Where Weird Ideas Get Baked and Bolted Together

We’re not quite open yet. We don’t have the walls up, the ovens fired, or the laser cutters humming—but what we do have is a big, beautiful vision of what’s to come. UC Makerspace and Community Kitchen (UCM) is a grassroots-powered, caffeine-fueled nonprofit-in-the-making where creators, tinkerers, chefs, and changemakers can come together to build the unimaginable and eat well while doing it.

This is where your generosity comes in. 🫶

Whether you’ve got a soft spot for sourdough or sawdust, your donation helps us get closer to opening our doors and unlocking the potential of the Upper Cumberland community. Every dollar gets us closer to providing the tools, equipment, space, and support systems that make real impact possible.

What You’re Really Funding
Hint: It’s way more than just tables and toasters.

🛠️ A Full Makerspace decked out with woodworking, metalworking, textiles, electronics, and digital fabrication equipment. (Yes, we’ll have lasers. Of course we will.)

🧠 Workshops and Skillshares to pass on know-how, connect neighbors, and keep innovation alive in every corner of the Upper Cumberland.

📦 Community Programs that fight food insecurity, empower small businesses, and offer accessible paths to entrepreneurship.
