Donate Money

Oh my goodness! We’re so glad you’re here!!

COD1_smp0102 There are many costs to running a non-profit. Some of the more obvious ones for The Sewing Machine Project® are the costs of: packing and shipping machines, offering local classes, (including paying a teacher and buying supplies) and paying local technicians for minor repairs. Some of our additional and less obvious costs include software to keep track of and thank donors, software to make sure we have volunteers to cover assignments and keep track of their preferences, costs to keep everyone up to date on our progress through online and snail mail updates and up-to-date brochures, newsletters, thank-you notes, labels and business cards. These are all pieces of what we do.

To give you an idea here are a few specific costs:

  • $40 covers packing materials and shipping costs to ship one machine within the U.S.;
  • $50 covers the cost of sewing kits and classroom supplies for one 6-week class.
  • $100 will cover machine repairs when necessary;
  • $350 will cover the cost of an instructor to teach one 6-week local class;
  • $500 will send 30 machines to a community in need within the United States.

Please consider giving at one of these levels noted above. In return for your donation (which is tax deductible) you will receive a letter of thanks, which serves as your receipt.
