Save Our QC Co-Lab Makerspace

Help Keep the QC Co-Lab Open and Thriving!

The QC Co-Lab has been a cornerstone of creativity, innovation, and collaboration in Davenport, Iowa, for over a decade. Our makerspace has supported countless artists, tinkerers, entrepreneurs, and community members — providing tools, resources, and a welcoming space to learn, build, and grow.

Right now, we need your help.

Due to rising operational costs and a tough financial season, we’re struggling to keep up with basic monthly bills — including rent, utilities, and internet that keep our space alive and accessible. Without immediate support, we face the real risk of having to pause operations or even shut our doors.

We’re asking our friends, members, and supporters — past and present — to chip in whatever they can to help us raise $5000. Every dollar will go directly toward covering essential bills and keeping the lights on while we regroup and plan for a sustainable future.

Why it matters:

QC Co-Lab isn’t just a building — it’s a home for creators. From robotics projects and 3D printing to woodworking lasercutting/etching and coding workshops as well as an auto bay, clay/art studio, music studios, glass staining, metal working shop, welding, and so much more! This space helps people turn ideas into reality. It’s a place for learning, experimentation, and community.

If QC Co-Lab has ever inspired you, helped you, or made you feel at home — now’s the time to return the favor.
