We are committed to making The Foundry a financially accessible community space.
Reservation and membership prices are available at a discounted rate, based on self-reported organization annual revenue or personal income brackets. Commercial entities are not eligible for sliding scale.
To request sliding scale pricing, be sure to answer the sliding scale question on whichever form or request page you are completing.
Nonprofits, small businesses, and non-commercial community organizations. This can apply to community organizations that are not official 501c3s. To determine which sliding scale bracket your organization fits into, please consider your total annual revenue including any grant awards.
Individual community members who are not using the space on behalf of a larger organization or company. This can be one individual or a group of individuals who are planning an event together. This is a self-select process and requires no documentation.

How can I get The Foundry to promote my public event?
When you reserve a room, we will send you a link to a form that asks for a list of details about your event. This information will then allow us to publicize your event on our events page, social media, and weekly events e-newsletter.
Please note: If you do not submit your event by 10 am the Friday before your event, your event will not be included in next week's e-newsletter and social post since both are publicized on Friday afternoons. It will still be included on our website.
How does The Foundry decide what programs happen in the building?
Any programs that meet our community guidelines and make positive use of the space are welcome at The Foundry! For more information about how we prioritize programming when there are several competing requests view our Program Rubric here.
