Overview
Mission
Mass collective provides affordable access to tools, technologies, and teachers in a variety of disciplines through apprenticeship, education, and/or membership programs.
What it reported doing in 2025
Mass operates a (roughly) 6000 sqft makerspace in the castleberry hill neighborhood of downtown atlanta, providing 24/7 open workshop access to approximately 40 members. Providing production level access to equipment and resources, our membership program is 24/7, inclusive and affordable.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
