Giving Tuesday 2026

Thank you for your interest in helping YOUR local Digital Innovation Center at Access Humboldt!  We have so much in store for you.  This Giving Tuesday, we are asking for your help with a few projects that will have the most immediate impact with the community.

When you donate to Access Humboldt, YOU are helping shape the community asset that we all get to use.

1. Jr. News Desk  $483

The Junior news Desk is our collaboration with Eureka High and is nearly finished!  Help us have an early success by funding our materials:  Chroma Key Green paint, 1x3x8 lumber, 1/4" Plywood,  and Castors.

2. Black Box Studio $723 

Our Black box Studio will be the first available studio to use.  Help us get there by Providing 5 gallons of 0/0/0/100 Black Paint, 2x4x8 lumber, Acoustic Drywall, and 7 Stage flats.

3.  Audio Proofing on Frontage  $3,758

Using specialized stage building materials, we can cancel out the road noise of our busy intersection.  This expense covers materials only as we have volunteer skilled labor to build the casings!

4.  Stage Door/Plug to the White Void $800

This temporary stage will be an innovative piece that assembles and deconstructs to clock out the world when using the White Void.  Cost covers materials that will sweeten audio.

5.  Replace our old Audio Equipment $2,500

Audio Equipment in a professional setting has a short use-life.  Our Audio equipment has not been upgraded since 2020.  As we continue to limp along with small repairs we are also facing a new environment that has different audio dynamics and needs.  By replacing some of our old equipment, the community can deliver better shows made with higher quality audio.

6.  Computer Lab Upgrade $5,304

In 2025 our Cal Poly Humboldt intern, Ms. May, did her solid best best upgrading our computer lab's 8 stations by completely rebuilding them with the last of our spare parts.  While she did an excellent job, the computer lab is as its end of life.  By providing 4 new computers on Giving Tuesday, we can upgrade half of the computer lab this year, then do the rest next year.
