Programs for Makers
Our key focus
Business Development
When deciding which classes to offer, we focus on key areas of business development. These primary areas are marketing, finances, and operation. If you’re an expert interested in teaching a class, email us at makingmissoula@gmail.com
Health and Mindset
As makers, your body is your primary tool and mindset determines your success. We seek to support both of these areas of health through physical health clinics designed for makers and various mindset presentations from successful artists in the community.
Community
Many of our programs are aimed at creating and cultivating community among makers. These programs are great for folks that are interested in starting a business or becoming more connected with the maker community.
workshop: Taxes and Bookkeeping for makers
Join us for Making Missoula’s first workshop of 2025, “Taxes and Bookkeeping for Makers” with board member and licensed CPA, Kolten LaMiaux.
This class will provide a general understanding of income taxes geared specifically toward self-employed makers. This includes how to track and prepare bookkeeping records and related information, and common tax situations and issues for makers, as well as a general overview of taxes for self-employed individuals.
February 5th from 6-8 pm at the Headwaters Foundation
