Joy Bomb is sustained only by donations of the community itself. Currently our monthly expenses are roughly $2700 per month. We have no corporate sponsors and are completely self-funded. This allows us the most freedom, but also strains the sustainability of an ambitious project such as Joy Bomb.

Some of the current projects coming out of Joy Bomb:

• Food Not Bombs NWI
• Communiversity (upcoming)
• NWI Tool Library (dormant)
• Live Music, Community Game and Movie Nights
• Radical Book & Zine Library (upcoming)

Supporting Joy Bomb

Ongoing Monetary Support
One of the most meaningful ways you can help Joy Bomb exist is to offer recurring donations to help us pay the building off and make needed repairs and upgrades. Our goal is to find donors at the $20-25 / month level for a commitment of a year or more. This will help us reach our goal of autonomy within 5 years!

For only $25 per month, you can help us:

• Pay the mortgage for Joy Bomb
• Pay for utilities (electricity, gas, water, sewer, internet, and trash service)
• Pay for day to day expenses (toiletries & maintenance)
• Make improvements to Joy Bomb for a more welcoming and accessible space

Donations are tax deductible, as Joy Bomb is a 501c3 nonprofit. Many workplaces do matching donations of employees, we ask you to check out if your employer does matching gifts.
