Noisebridge is a [http://hackerspaces.org/ hackerspace] for technical-creative projects, [[Do-ocracy|doocratically]] run by our members. We are [[Incorporation|a non-profit educational institution]] intended for public benefit. We operate primarily in a 5,200 square-foot space located in the heart of San Francisco. We teach, we learn, we share. [[Noisebridge_Vision|Read more about Noisebridge]] or [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wamwklXWK4M watch a short video]…

We are committed to providing a safe space to work, learn, and play. Please read and understand our [[anti-harassment policy]] and [[community standards]]. This is how we expect people to behave when they are at Noisebridge, and you should also expect this standard of behavior from others in the space.

Noisebridge relies on your donations to continue operating. If you have found Noisebridge useful, please consider [[donate|donating]] to help us keep operating.

We began building Noisebridge in February 2007. Since December 2007 we've had regular Tuesday meetings, and rented our first physical space as of October 1st 2008. We quickly outgrew our first space and have been at our much larger 5,200 square-foot second location since October 1st 2009. We are a [[Incorporation|tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization]] as of July 2009, retroactive to October 2008.
