TinkerHub Foundation · Community Campaign

Kerala's next
home for makers.

A space built for makers, creators, hackers, designers, and anyone who loves building things.

TinkerSpace Calicut is a community-powered makerspace where students, developers, designers, artists, entrepreneurs, and curious minds come together to learn, build, collaborate, and share ideas. Whether you're prototyping hardware, experimenting with AI, designing your first product, or simply exploring a new skill, TinkerSpace is built to help you create alongside others.

Here's the honest number —

₹20,00,000 is already committed. We're raising the final ₹5,00,000.

Running a community makerspace isn't just about buying tools — it's about keeping the doors open every day for the thousands of builders who'll walk in over the coming years. The first year of TinkerSpace Calicut will cost approximately ₹25,50,000. Instead of relying on one organisation, we're bringing together partners and individual supporters who believe Kerala deserves more places where people can build.

From 7 companies ₹20,00,000

The community's ₹5,00,000, split into two goals you can actually watch move

Components & equipment 0% ₹2,00,000

₹2,00,000 to go — tools, parts, and hardware for the space.

Programs & workshops 0% ₹3,00,000

₹3,00,000 to go — running events, mentors, and sessions.

Where your contribution goes

Why we're fundraising.

The first year's cost breaks down into five buckets. Rent and admin are the unglamorous majority — but they're what keeps a physical space open, staffed and usable every single day.

Where things stand

7 companies got us most of the way. The rest is on us.

Seven companies backed TinkerSpace Calicut before a single brick was laid — that's ₹20,00,000 done. The remaining ₹5,00,000 isn't coming from another company. It's meant to come from people like you: the students, developers, and builders this space is actually for.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Is my donation tax deductible? +
TinkerHub is registered as a non-profit under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860 (Reg. No. KKD/CA/478/2016). [Confirm 80G tax-exemption status before publishing, if applicable.]
Can I donate equipment instead of money? +
Yes. Tools, components and workbench equipment are welcome — reach out and we'll confirm what the space currently needs.
Will there be memberships? +
TinkerSpace is built to stay open and accessible without an expensive membership wall, the same way TinkerSpace Kochi runs today.
How will the funds be used? +
Exactly as shown in the cost breakdown above — rent, setup, components, programs, and space administration for the first year.
I work at a company — can we chip in too? +
Sure — a few companies have already backed us that way. But this round is really about individuals, so don't feel like you need a company behind you to give.

Ready when you are

Help the next
maker begin.

Every prototype, workshop, hackathon and collaboration that begins here will exist because people chose to build this space together. Help us raise ₹5,00,000 and open the doors to Kerala's next makerspace.
