Such a fair question and we appreciate you asking! Birdhouse is a small women-owned business run by two women who, like many of you, juggle other employment and family life alongside everything it takes to keep this space going. We are passionate about what we have built and deeply committed to keeping Birdhouse alive and thriving for the women in our community.

The reality is that the expenses of running a physical space are significant. Rent, utilities, internet, supplies, coffee and tea, marketing and so much more add up quickly. As we head into our third year we are still recovering from the costs of opening and building the business from the ground up, while also ramping up our marketing efforts to reach more women who need a space like this.

Every membership, event ticket, and contribution helps us keep the doors open and the community growing. We are not asking for much - just a little support from the people who believe in what we are doing and want to see Birdhouse continue to be a place where women can focus, connect, recharge, and inspire one another.

We see this less as a transaction and more as a community investment. Thank you so much for being part of it. It truly means everything to us!

We appreciate you asking and we appreciate your generosity even more! Birdhouse is a privately owned women's small business and is not a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. As a result, contributions made to Birdhouse are not tax deductible. While we wish we could offer that benefit, please know that every dollar of support goes directly back into maintaining and growing a space where women in our community can thrive. Thank you so much for considering a contribution.

Every contribution made to Birdhouse goes directly back into maintaining and growing the space you love! Your support helps cover the everyday costs that keep Birdhouse running beautifully, including rent, high-speed internet, tea and coffee for our members and guests, and the general upkeep of the space.

Your generosity also helps us continue offering discounted rates to nonprofits and sponsoring community events that give back to the greater Amesbury area. We are passionate about being a resource for the whole community and donations make that possible.

In short, when you support Birdhouse you are helping keep the lights on, the coffee brewing, and the doors open for every woman who walks through them. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Absolutely and we love this question! If you have something that would bring beauty, warmth, or function to the Birdhouse space we would be so grateful to receive it. Fresh flowers to brighten up the room, art to hang on our walls, tea to serve our members and guests, or anything else you think would make Birdhouse an even more special place for the women who walk through our doors.

If you have something in mind please reach out and let us know! Every thoughtful contribution makes a difference and we love that our community shows up for us in so many ways. Thank you so much for thinking of us!
