What if you can't afford membership?
M4Reactor understands that not every individual can afford a membership. We try to make this space as accessible for everyone as we can. That's why we offer a variety of discounts, scholarships, and volunteering opportunities for members.
Veterans:
Check out the Veteran Scholarship we offer. We can offer this particular scholarship thanks to donations from community members.
Volunteering:
If you are interested in volunteering your time, such as working at the front desk to increase our open hours or offer any other skills that could help us (marketing, planning, coordination, fundraising, etc.), we offer $10 off your monthly membership per volunteer hour, for pre-approved tasks. We also have a job board that you can choose tasks around the space to help out with. Job board items must be authorized prior to starting and validated when complete. This discount can only be applied to the current month's membership fees (not shop fees, class fees, material fees, etc.) and cannot be carried over to later months.
STAY TUNED as we are moving to a point system that can be used for different discounts.
Community Support Discounts
Veterans: 20% off
Emergency Responders: 20% off
Teachers: 20% off
Students currently enrolled at WorWic, SU, UMES, Del Tech, UD, Delaware State and any local Highschool under the age of 25: 20% off
Note: The discount is off the membership and shop fees ONLY. Previous to 6/14/21 we had said 25% but that was only off of membership and not shop fees. We have adjusted the discount for clarity.
Family Memberships
Family members (related and living at the same address) receive 50% of the 2nd and subsequent memberships. The primary membership must be the highest membership of the group and all others can be at the same rate or lower.
For example, 3 brothers want to join, Sam, Ali and Jimmy.
- Sam wants to sign up for Woodshop at 10 days/month ($75/mo)
- Ali wants to sign up for Woodshop and Metalshop at 4 days/month ($45/mo)
- Jimmy wants to sign up for Laser and Kiln at 10 days/month ($90/mo)
As Jimmy's membership is highest, his is the primary membership (not discounted). Both Ali and Sam would get 50% off.
