The Cost of Running Free Community Programs
Merakos Fieldhouse is nonprofit that provides free community space for workshops and gatherings. It is entirely volunteer run! While our space is generously provided by the Vancouver Parks Board in exchange for our work with the community, there are lots of very real costs associated with having a having and maintaining space and running accessible programs. From insurance, internet, and office supplies to program materials, it adds up. We welcome donations in all forms.
