Q: Why should I SUPPORT electHER now?

A:     electHER Now is a new movement and we want as many people involved as possible. We believe in offering accessible resources with no entrance fees and encourage contributions on a Pay What You Can (PWYC) basis, so people can access them, no matter their financial circumstances.

Plus, we do need your financial support.

The electHER Now Planning Team is made up of thrifty volunteers who work to keep costs to a minimum. Most of what we accomplish is donated but there are a few expenses that need to be covered and, like most things these days, these costs are going up!

They include creating and maintaining the website, paying for systems to keep track of contributions and expenses, plus platform and venue costs to offer and publicize our online training and networking opportunities.

When you make a donation, you will receive information about how the money is spent. See Recent Update Here

 Q:   HOW MUCH SHOULD I DONATE?

A:     We also encourage people to support electHER Now on a Pay What You Can (PWYC) basis. There are a few suggestions on our website, but you can always choose to contribute more or less, depending on your circumstances. Donate Here

 Q:   Will I get a tax receipt for my contribution?

A:     Unfortunately, not. electHER Now is a community volunteer association not a registered charity or political party, so we are unable to issue tax receipts. We hope you will support us, despite this. We provide financial information yearly and are open to questions you may have about our finances. Just email us and, if it doesn’t violate contributor confidentiality, we are happy to provide answers.

 Q:   I would prefer NOT to pay online. Can I mail in a cheque instead?

A:     Of course! Just make your cheque payable to “electHER” and mail it to: electHER Now c/o 606 2nd Avenue West, Owen Sound ON N4K 4M3

 Q:   Can I speak with someone to get more details before I commit?

A:     Absolutely! Just send an email using the Contact Us Form and we will arrange to chat.

WE ACKNOWLEDGE that electHER Now virtual and in-person events are hosted on Saugeen Treaty No.45 ½ land, the Traditional Territory of the Anishinabek Nation: The People of the Three Fires known as Ojibway, Odawa, and Pottawatomie Nations. We give thanks to the Chippewas of Saugeen, and the Chippewas of Nawash, now known as the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, as the traditional keepers of this land.

Our meeting place is home to many Indigenous peoples, First Nations and Metis from across Turtle Island whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to influence our vibrant community. May we live with respect in peace and friendship with all its diverse peoples.
