Donation processing will connect here after state acceptance and banking setup.
This preview intentionally does not collect money. Once Access Made Iowa has state acceptance, an organizational bank account and a payment processor, this becomes the live donation area.
No tax-deductibility claim will appear until the organization's IRS status supports it.
Where donations go
Keep the overhead boring.
The goal is not to build an office. The goal is to keep enough practical infrastructure around the makers that a small request can actually get finished.
Prototypes
Failed prints and second attempts are normal program costs.
Access
Fab Lab memberships, machine fees, software and specialized tools.
Shipping
Packaging and postage assistance for recipients who need it.
In-kind giving
Useful materials & equipment
We may accept appropriate filament, fasteners, magnets, build plates, switches, packaging and fabrication equipment when the organization can actually use them.
Not every donated object is useful. Please ask before dropping off equipment.
Recurring giving
Supporters, not legal members.
Recurring donors can keep a predictable trickle of materials moving without creating statutory voting memberships or unnecessary governance complexity.
Core rule: receiving an adaptation never requires a donation. A donation does not move a request ahead in line.
