Support
soft(spaces) Today

join us in expanding the soft(spaces) ecosystem by sharing our mission with your network and / or making a donation!

We’re raising $300,000 towards providing soft(spaces) for BIPOC, the LGBTQ+ community & our allies.

Up until this point, soft(spaces) has been fully self-funded. From our savings accounts and loans from family to our 9-5 checks & revenue from our wellness products, the foundation of soft(spaces) has been built from our collective belief in this ecosystem & our community showing up to experience it.

Now, more than ever, the demand for flexible residential spaces, inclusive community spaces & intentionally curated third spaces has been growing, and we are in need of financial support to expand the soft(spaces) ecosystem & move it to the next level.

We are raising $300,000 towards the growth and expansion of the soft(spaces) ecosystem. Every dollar donated will contribute directly to our immediate, short-term and long-term goals.

The $300,000 Breakdown

~ 5% ($15,000): Operational Expenses

~ 15% ($45,000): Website/ App Coding & Development

~ 30% ($90,000): Main Residence/ Clubhouse Renovations

~ 50% ($150,000): Residential & Community Space Expansion

soft(spaces) Immediate, Short-Term & Long-Term Goals

IMMEDIATE GOALS (1-3 MONTHS)

01 - Space Renovations/ Upgrades

> The soft(spaces) Main Residence/ Clubhouse Roof Replacement

  • Our current main residence (also what we like to call The soft(spaces) Clubhouse) is in need of a complete roof replacement.

> The soft(spaces) Main Residence/ Clubhouse Fence & Fence Foundation Replacement

  • Our neighbor (Ms. Catherine – an elderly woman native to NYC) has two fully grown oak trees, 40+ years old, whose roots are cracking our fence foundation. These cracks have gotten significantly worse over the last two years and are jeopardizing the integrity of both our fences & their foundations. Our goal is to remove, re-do & fix the fence foundation and replace the fence with more robust material.

> The soft(spaces) Main Residence/ Clubhouse Security Upgrade

  • Adding external security cameras to the front and back

  • Reinforcing the front door frame

  • Replacing the external front and side gates

SHORT TERM GOALS (3-6 MONTHS)

01 - Space Renovations/ Upgrades

> The soft(spaces) Main Residence/ Clubhouse Making Studio & Creative Lounge

  • The soft(spaces) Main Residence/ Clubhouse has a full basement we want to transform into a Making Studio & Lounge that can be used as a lite creative center by day, and community gathering space by night.

02 - Space Expansion

> Community Space

  • We are looking for a commercial space we can transform into a community space that can be used for co-working, workshops & events. We’re ultimately looking for a place our members can just be. Additional space will also allow us to expand our programming & membership capacity.

> Tenant Management

  • We intend to begin our tenant management services by working with folks who would like us to manage the process of subletting/ renting out their space to tenants who align with the soft(spaces) ethos. This would include tenant selection, lease agreements and tenant management. By working with folks to fill/ utilize their available space(s), we are able to expand soft(spaces) residences without needing to own the spaces ourselves & support our community.

LONG TERM GOALS (6-18 MONTHS)

01 - Professional Services

> Architectural Design, Project & Construction Management

  • With Tochi’s background in architecture, we have been approached by people who want to work with soft(spaces) in bringing their visions for space to life. We intend to work with folks who have a vision for space(s) and need a licensed design team to make that happen.

> Property Management Services

  • We intend to begin our property management services by working with soft(spaces) certified landlords/ property owners/ lease holders who would like us to manage their properties/ space utilizing the soft(spaces) framework, essentially ensuring that their properties/ spaces align with the soft(spaces) mission and ethos.

02 - soft(spaces) Online Automation

> The soft(spaces) Website/ iOS & Android App (Phase 1)

  • At this time, all of our systems operate manually with little to no automation. As a result, we are unable to operate at our desired speed/ efficiency. Our goal is to develop an app that will:

  1. Allow our members to rent our residences, access our spaces and sign up for events/ experiences.

  2. Allow us to automate the data collection process that we need in order to work with members and non-members interested in utilizing our Property + Tenant Management services as well as folks interested in having us share their available space(s) with our network.
