Starship Factory is of course enormously pleased about donations of any kind. That includes donated equipment and loans as well as financial support.
Donations in kind
Practical suggestions for things we could immediately use are on the wish list in the wiki. We are naturally open to other donations too — but in that case it is better to write to the open mailing list first, so we can make sure we have room for it.
Loans
We are also glad to receive machines on loan that we can use within the purposes of the association. The usage fees they earn are then split to finance the maintenance of the machine. The usual terms are on the usage fees page in the wiki, but other arrangements can be negotiated.
Financial support
There are two ways to support the association financially. You can make a donation earmarked for a specific purpose through our crowdfunding mechanism; the crowdfunding wiki page describes exactly how. In principle it is simply a transfer with a particular reference text to a postal account.
You can also support us independently of any project. For that, a transfer to the following postal account is enough:
Postal account: 60-738720-1
IBAN: CH15 0900 0000 6073 8720 1
BIC: POFICHBEXXX
Clearing no.: 9000
Recipient:
Starship Factory
4000 Basel
Not a fan of bank transfers? No problem! Bring your donation along on your next visit and put it in the donation box, or give it to any board member you like.
If you want to support us financially on a regular basis, you are also very welcome to simply join the association or write an email to the board to be taken on as a patron.
