The easiest for us

Cover something we actually need. When we buy it ourselves we have to go and get it, account for it in our books, file the VAT and carry all the paperwork that comes with it. That is a lot of work for the stewards. When you take on a specific expense, all of that disappears.

So the best way to contribute is to take responsibility for one expense of the commons. Pick one below.

Recurring costs

What keeping the doors open costs every month, taxes included. You don't have to cover a whole month: chip in whatever part you like, from €10, once or every month.

€9,820.23
in fixed costs, every month

Rent

€6,546.76
per month

67% of the fixed costs

The lease for the space itself: the first floor (235 m²) and the second floor (204 m²), 439 m² of offices in the centre of Brussels. Every other contribution only makes sense because this one is covered.

Furniture rental

€637.67
per month

Relieve and WeNap · 6% of the fixed costs

Tables, chairs and sofas from Relieve, a Brussels circular-furniture company, and the acoustic phone booth from WeNap: rented rather than bought, so when the space changes, the furniture changes with it.

Chip in

Electricity (Engie)

€238.50
per month

Electrabel SA · 2% of the fixed costs

Two Engie contracts for the building: lights, heating pumps, the coffee machine, the projectors.

Chip in

€54.45
per month

Proximus SA de droit public · 0.6% of the fixed costs

Business fibre for the whole building: the coworking, the event rooms, the livestreams.

Bills still to pay

What we still owe our suppliers, straight from our books. Cover a bill in full, or chip in a part of it: the money comes to the Hub, earmarked for that bill, and the stewards pay the supplier.
