To awaken democracy does need funding, and CAPaD relies solely on member support for its operating income. 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 transfer funds directly to our bank account:

Account Name: Canberra Alliance for Participatory Democracy
BSB: 633-000
Account Number: 156972770

Don't forget to put your family name in the information field to help our treasurer sort out the receipts.
