My local makerspace is doing classes and grant money is payingbl for the instructor's time (in the class, not all the prep time). I'm doing one on Meshtastic (w/ some 3d printing), there's a pottery one, stained glass, switching from Win 10 to Linux, and more.

The space is run by donations from the community. A fair amount of it comes from people with high paying tech jobs who just want to see spaces like this exist.

Honestly, the much bigger lift is dedicating hours every week to hosting open hours, more hours every month having a programming meeting (what events to have, who is willing to run then) and monthly business meetings (finances, how are we going to get the word out about programming, member drives, etc.). We have two people that do most of this for the entire space. We need more volunteers and that seems to be the thing in the shortest supply.
