Please help keep Longmont's and Colorado's largest and most engaged Innovation Center, Community Workshop and Makerspace up and running so we're ready to go when we finally come out of this dark pandemic period.

You can donate on our website by clicking here.

TinkerMill is a 501(c)(3), so all the normal tax deductions for charitable contributions apply. Additionally, TinkerMill is a designated Colorado Enterprise Zone Contribution Project. This means that donations to TinkerMill can be eligible for Colorado income tax credits. The tax credit is 25% of the value of cash donations or 12.5% of the value of in-kind (e.g. equipment or supplies) donations. The Colorado Department of Revenue has posted an information flyer available here.

The Source, from ExtractCraft, is now available for pre-order!

Lee Sutherland, one of the founders of TinkerMill, thought up The Source, an essential oil extraction smart appliance, back in late 2013.  Scott Converse, the original founder of TinkerMill, heard Lee's description of it and said:  "that could be a very cool product."

And now, it is.

The Source, from ExtractCraft, a company founded at TinkerMill by Lee and Scott, is making it's first product available for pre-sale to the general public.
