Hi {name},

2023 has been a big year for Make Santa Fe. We doubled-and-then-some our membership. We held 306 classes, teaching almost 700 attendees! We added blacksmithing, bronze casting, ceramics, and CNC milling. We upgraded the woodshop, expanded the metal shop, and introduced new machines. We repaired equipment, cleaned & upgraded our facility, and added member storage options. By the end of the year, we'll have introduced a new computer lab and electronics station. Behind the scenes, we've added staff, streamlined operations, and improved our online systems. But I feel like we're just getting started. 

Santa Fe is one of the most creative communities in the United States, and Make Santa Fe is a cornerstone resource for those creatives. By offering workshop space at only $85/month, we're destroying the barrier to entry into the creative economy. Make Santa Fe creates possibility and enables creatives and makers to change their stars.

To maintain this resource, we need your support. MAKE currently relies almost exclusively on memberships and classes. In 2023, only 12.435% of our income came from donations. Let's change that; let's all show our support for Make Santa Fe by donating today. In 2024, we're hoping to raise $17,000 from individuals. You're one of 630 people who will open this email. If each of you donate $27 (or less than $3/month), then we'll reach our goal. 

I hope you've found value in MAKE Santa Fe and will consider giving before the year's end.
