5% of all booth fees gathered go towards the Makers Grant Fund, and the remaining goes towards upfront costs for hosting the markets. As of now, Rachel and Bailey do not get receive any sort of payment for their work with Missoula Makers Collective (though, they hope to transition into full time employees of the organization soon!).

We do a combination of social media and radio advertising, along with postering and news features! Our biggest tool is our makers- through sharing our posts, our makers help us reach all new audiences all the time!

It all depends on how much space we have! We will always squeeze in as many makers as is comfortable/safe/fair.

You can find more about this on our About page, in the blog labeled “Why and How We Prioritize Women”.

No- we also have lots of experienced makers! We try to support and uplift as many new makers as possible though. Once of the ways we do this is by offering a share booth space, where the booth fee is only $25 and you’re in a space with other makers! This makes the experience a little less scary, since you’re in the same boat as the people around you!
