Some months ago, 16Beaver publicly stated that they were having trouble renewing their lease. The group, which has put on more than 400 invaluable events in their eleven years, was in need of funds, and in their usual fashion, reached out to their community for support. We helped spread the word then, and, now we’re pleased to spread some good news – 16Beaver has renewed their lease until 2014! Trouble is, they still need $20k by this August to make it happen.
16Beaver is not a nonprofit, and doesn’t plan to be. Like Groundswell, they exist outside of those traditional funding structures. To make it through this turmoil, they’ve enlisted the fiscal sponsorship of Fractured Atlas to process donations and the likes. Click here to make your donation to 16Beaver.
