Thank you for choosing to engage with Spaceworks. We’re excited and grateful to have you in this vibrant creative community. The questions below are voluntary, but the responses do help us with our grant reporting and applications. 

Question Title

* 1. What is your name?

Question Title

* 2. What is your job title?

Question Title

* 3. What are some things you want to learn this year? How might Spaceworks help you grow as a creative professional?

Question Title

* 4. What is your home zip code?
As a city-wide program, we want to make sure that all neighborhoods and communities have access to our programs and services. We specifically have funding that encourages work in Hilltop, Lincoln, East Tacoma, and South Tacoma.

Question Title

* 5. If applicable, what is your business zip code?

Question Title

* 6. What year were you born?
We believe that you can be an artist or launch a business at any stage in your life. This helps us make sure that our services benefit all age groups in Tacoma.

Question Title

* 7. How long have you lived in Tacoma/Pierce County?

Question Title

* 8. What is your gender?
Women business owners face unique challenges and there continues to be gaps in wages and business ownership between women and men.  For this question, we are following standard language from the Human Rights Campaign.

Question Title

* 9. What is your race? Check all that apply.
We acknowledge that race has been used as a tool to disinvest in communities and prevent individuals from achieving economic success. The impacts continue today. In order to combat the racial wealth gap, we strive to match, if not exceed, Tacoma’s proportion of minority communities. For this question, we are using the updated federal categories (40% of our funding comes from federal programs).

Question Title

* 10. How do you prefer to identify?
Race, gender, sexual orientation, class, ability… these are just a few factors that influence and create one’s identity. We’d love to know how you describe yourself in your own words.

Question Title

* 11. Do you have a disability?

Question Title

* 12. Are you part of the LGBTQ community?

Question Title

* 13. Are you a veteran or in the military?

Household Income
Since many of our grants focus on economic and community development, we are often asked for the number of low-to-moderate income (LMI) individuals we support. This is determined by the annual household income and compared against the median income of Pierce County.

Spaceworks specializes in microbusinesses (which includes artists!) and we believe that entrepreneurship is a powerful tool to grow one’s wealth.

Question Title

* 14. How many people live in your household (including children and non-relatives)?
