Help Create a Collaborative Coworking in North Mpls

Proximity Collective is a Black-owned co-working space built on ownership, collaboration, and community. We exist to empower Black excellence, foster generational wealth, and create a thriving hub where ideas grow, relationships flourish, and culture is celebrated. Together, we build, connect, and progress.

How You Can Help This Vision Continue

This isn’t just about one day—it’s about creating something that lasts. To make this vision sustainable, we need to raise at least $50,000 to cover rent for the first year. This will provide a foundation for programming, resources, and community impact.

Here’s how you can contribute:

✅ Donate – Whether it’s $5 or $5,000, every contribution helps build this space. [Insert donation link or payment info]

✅ Sponsor – Businesses and individuals can sponsor key elements of the space (furniture, rooms, events, etc.).

✅ Pledge Your Support – If you can’t give today but want to commit to supporting in the future, sign up for our pledge list.

Our goal is to build a space where visions are written, dreams are activated, and lives are changed. If you believe in this mission, help us make it happen!
