Community Manufacturer Pledge
Support approved community jobs at a 1% platform fee
The Community Manufacturer Pledge is a commitment by manufacturers to support local communities, small businesses, nonprofits, public-interest projects, and emergency-response needs by offering fair, reliable, and accessible manufacturing services.
Approved community jobs are scoped work for organizations such as schools, municipalities, charities, local makers, and urgent repairs where cost or speed would otherwise block production—reviewed before they receive the reduced 1% community job fee.
By taking this pledge, a manufacturer becomes a Community Manufacturer and qualifies for a reduced 1% fee on approved community jobs.
Approved community jobs carry a 1% community job fee for pledged manufacturers while Community Manufacturer status remains active and in good standing.
What pledged manufacturers commit to
- Make reasonable manufacturing capacity available for approved community jobs when schedule, equipment, materials, and staffing allow.
- Price community jobs fairly and transparently without inflating other charges to offset the reduced fee.
- Complete community jobs with the same reasonable quality standards used for commercial work of similar scope.
- Communicate clearly about timelines, minimums, risks, scope changes, and production limitations.
Qualification & Signing
To qualify, manufacturers must maintain an active MCRS score of 80 or higher and pass a basic capability review. Existing manufacturers can review and accept the full pledge from their dashboard settings. New manufacturers can create a profile first, then take the pledge once approved.
