Donate to Support the Alliance

To awaken democracy needs funding, and CAPaD relies solely on member support for its operating income and project costs. We are not funded by political parties, governments, corporations or industries. At the moment donations are not tax deductible, but we are working on that.

To help us advance our aims, please donate.
