Why Support CO-Create Erie?
Supporting CO-Create Erie is more than a sponsorship—it’s an investment in the creative, economic and educational future of our community. We are building from the ground up so private and public support is needed more than ever. Here’s why businesses, individuals and institutions choose to get involved:
Empower Innovation & Lifelong Learning
Your sponsorship will help provide access to high-quality tools, training and mentorship for makers of all ages, helping turn ideas into reality.
We also teach and provide the tools for sewing, woodworking, ceramics and other skills and trades that are no longer being taught in school or at home.
Support Local Entrepreneurs
Our prototyping tools, along with a collaborative and inspiring environment for inventors and creators, supports entrepreneurship.
Promote Equity & Access
We are committed to inclusivity. Additional funding allows us to provide opportunities that ensure everyone—regardless of income, experience, or background—can be a maker and learn new skills.
Connect and Engage with Local Residents
The workspace will attract hundreds of members within the region who are makers, artists and innovators. Along with memberships we will host open houses, classes and other events that will draw non-members from the community as well.
Strengthen the Erie Region
Your support contributes to workforce development, sustainable practices, youth education and meaningful community engagement in and around Boulder, Weld and Adams Counties.
Membership
Based on the support level, sponsors will receive one or more memberships to use our makerspace and connect with other members, educators and volunteers, as well as our online community.
CO-Create Erie’s mission is to provide top-level equipment and resources to our members that they otherwise would not have to at home. We have set an ambitious annual goal of $50,000 in order to purchase laser cutters, CNC routers, pottery kiln and other industrial-grade equipment. We will not be able to achieve our goal without the help of corporate or other organizational sponsorship. Please consider joining us in our mission to grow creativity, innovation and collaboration in our community.
