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)

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.

If you are unable to do a cash donation, Joy Bomb often can use material donations to improve the space or for day to day maintenance.
