Since the onslaught of COVID, we’ve tried to keep from asking people for help. Instead, we’ve rolled up our sleeves, pitched in and tried to make do with what we had. Our results speak for themselves. Now, we need your help.
Our goal is to expand and solidify our boat building program into a regular event that we can share with the Lynn community and beyond. To do that we’re applying to the MassDevelopment Collaborative Workspace program for funding.
The grant requires 100% in matching funds. That’s where you come in. We just launched a Patronicity campaign, running from now until June 3 – coming up fast – with a goal of $20,000. With that funding, we can write a proposal for a $40,000 project, acquiring tools and materials to make boatbuilding a “thing” in Lynn.
As you can read in the project description, this program has been at the core of our mission since day one. It’s an incredibly powerful educational tool, with a proven track record. Read more on our partner’s site, Community Boatbuildiing.
Thank you for your well-wishes and your support over the 5 years we’ve been growing, and I hope you can help us make the next step!
