Fundraiser · 2026

We created Our Space. Help us build it.

A community-first coworking space for women, nonbinary folks, and femmes in South Berkeley. About 20 of us are already showing up for each other — and we need your help to finish what we've started.

"I love what I do — but I don't want to do it alone."

That's what we kept hearing — from designers, therapists, writers, organizers. Diverse women, queer leaders, femmes. All doing meaningful work. All doing it alone. Coffee shops got crowded. Home got isolating. Coworking spaces were expensive and anonymous.

So we built somewhere to do it together. A community-first workspace that centers queer and BIPOC voices, with sliding-scale pricing and facilitated Growth Circles — because real connection takes intention.

How we got here, and what's next.

Your support helps carry us forward.

This isn't a donation. It's an investment in all of us.

In diverse women, queer leaders, and folks holding a lot. We needed Our Space — so we built it. Help us open our doors to more people who've been doing it alone.
