Noisebridge is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational membership organization, incorporated in the state of California.

Our bylaws are also freely accessible to all.

i3 Detroit is a hackerspace that is filing for 501(c)(3) status. They have a very nice tutorial on the 501(c)(3) process:

Classification (NAICS / SIC)

When interfacing with other organizations, we're often asked about our non-profit status and industry or type of non profit.

Based on MakerNexus's analysis and other consultation of NAICS (North American Industry Classification System), Noisebridge is likely best characterized with:

  • NAICS 611699 - All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction: This broad category can include various educational activities that Noisebridge provides outside of traditional computer training, and SIC 8299 (Schools and Educational Services, NEC).

As a potential alternative, NAICS Code 611610 - Fine Arts Schools code could be considered if Noisebridge offered classes focused on digital art, electronic art, and other forms of artistic expression.
