Donate
We’re on a quest to hire our first staff member.
Yes, Movement has been all-volunteer up to this point. But transit rider groups across the continent have demonstrated that when they have paid staff, their impact grows exponentially.
We need $70,000/year to pay for our first employee. That person will finally be able put dozens of volunteers to work, build relationships with elected officials, and build coalitions with other groups.
Check out the donation calculator below. It helps you understand the impact of tax credits from the government. You can get up to 46% back on your taxes from charitable donations.
So if you donate the equivalent of a TransLink one-zone pass every month, $107.30, that donation will only cost you $62.44/month.

total donations do not exceed 75% of your net income for that year.
If your total donations do exceed 75% of your net income, you can
carry forward any additional donations to the following year.
At tax time, donations are totaled up for the entire year:
