Become a Sponsor of TimeBank Santa Cruz
WHY BECOME A SPONSOR
We want you to sponsor the TimeBank because we’re a public charity with an extravagant ratio of social benefit to administrative cost and because the sharing economy helps grow a stronger market economy.
A thriving TimeBank of 2000 members can be staffed by one funded position. It’s the members themselves who provide the services. So we provide an extraordinary level of service for a minuscule administrative cost.
Our TimeBankers have exchanged over 25,000 hours of service. A California volunteer hour is valued at $27.89. By that measure, the TimeBank has already contributed $697,000 to the local economy.

TimeBanking itself promotes civic engagement and improves economic health. TimeBank exchanges:
- provide cash-free services
