We are raising money to support GOAT’s program activities for the rest of 2025 and early 2026!

Your donations will support:

• archiving, preservation work, more scanning of complete books, and adding better metadata to our catalogue of DIY assistive tech
• wheelchair maintenance and repair zines free for our community, and nationally – distributed in partnership with Disability Culture Labs
• wheelchair, walker, scooter, and powerchair maintenance and repair tool kits, free for people who need them in the San Francisco Bay Area
• our Bay Area hackathons, reverse engineering, and modification workshops for assistive tech
• collaborations with University of Washington and Berkeley assistive tech design labs, hack sessions, and student projects

And we have a  generous donor willing to match up to 20K!

We now have a newsletter! It is called GOAT Notes, and has a cute little logo of a cartoon goat holding up a paper scroll, having taken a bite out of the paper.

You can subscribe to the newsletter for free, but there is also an option to donate to support the newsletter, and our organization, via Stripe, when you sign up.

I have not decided on newsletter frequency. There may be a cadence of once per month, but with shorter updates for announcements of new events. Or, I could aim for a short update roughly once per week. Either way, a frequency between weekly and monthly seems likely.

You can also read, share, or link to the back archives of GOAT Notes, someday when we have more than one issue!
