The Third Space is based on a model of community over profit. Therefore, memberships that allow access to our coworking space are free of charge. Our founders do not profit from rental and workshop fees. All proceeds benefit The Third Space, its members and guests. Your fees and donations support the space, including compensating our workshop leaders, to ensure that you have the best possible experience working, learning and growing here.
We appreciate your support in helping us continue to provide free coworking and community building at The Third Space. All donations go directly to serving our members.
