RADICAL FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY
THE BOOKS, OPEN
Most places hope you never ask where the money goes. We put it on the corkboard. Panther City Clubhouse runs on a profit-sharing structure: when the clubhouse does well, the people who build it — the teachers, the resident partners, the humans stacking the chairs — share in it. Members get a plain-language look at the books: what came in, what went out, and what's getting fixed next. No black box, no mystery fees, no fine print doing push-ups. Just a clubhouse that pays its people and shows its work.

WHO ACTUALLY RUNS THIS PLACE
Panther City Clubhouse LLC is the business that operates the physical Clubhouse — the rent, the lights, the coffee, the work room. Memberships and work room reservations keep it upright.
The Clubhouse Alliance is the separate nonprofit being formed to support the mission-driven side: free programming, community memberships, and the pay-it-forward stuff. It is not a 501(c)(3) yet — when that changes, we'll shout it from the corkboard. Until then, donations aren't tax-deductible, just deeply appreciated.
psst — the good stuff goes here first
Here's what you need to know.
Opening dates, founding memberships, event announcements, and occasional clubhouse gossip. No spam — we don't have the organizational discipline for spam.
