Goal & Definition

technology, or digital or electronic art can meet, socialize and collaborate.

Financing

Finanzierungs-Modell: Jedes Mitglied bezahlt 25 Euro im Monat mittels Dauerauftrag.
Das Geld sollte möglichst jeweils am 1. des Monats auf unserem Konto eingehen.
Verein: Es ist sinnvoll den Raum als Verein anzumieten um Verantwortung und Mitspracherecht gerecht zu teilen. Hierzu hat sich der Verein 
Wirdorange angeboten. Ein Modell basierend auf Mitgliedsschaft wurde gewählt.

(realraum.at) [We admit that 25€ might be a bit too much]

Funding of the C4 is mostly obtained through the monthly member fees; 55 members (50 active, 5 passive) do their part in paying the rent and service 
bills. Occasionally, donations or income from hosted events floods into the coffers of C4, and since there is always something that needs fixing or 
improving, is greatly appreciated. 

(http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/C4)

Der laufende Betrieb wird durch die Beiträge der über 120 Mitglieder finanziert. Förder- und Sponsorengelder,
unter anderem aus dem Netzkultur-Budget der Stadt Wien („Netznetz“), ermöglichen den Ausbau des Raumes, Anschaffung von Equipment,
und größere Vorhaben.
