Please feel free to connect with us. If we see the same question often enough, we’ll add it here.
- What’s a twonie?
-
Twonie (or toonie) is the nickname for Canada’s $2 coin, first circulated in 1996.
- All donations go straight to projects? How do you eat?
-
Michael has a pension from his career in the Royal Canadian Navy. Angela was disciplined enough to save during her career as a real estate developer. All of our personal costs (food, accommodations, fuel, insurance, maintenance, shipping etc) are covered through these means. This is how we can ensure that 100% of all donations will go to projects.
- How are the administration costs being paid?
-
We will be paying for all admin-related costs out of our own pockets.
- What sort of projects can my donation possibly fund?
-
On its own, your twonie won’t do much. But, partnered with a few other donated twonies, many things are possible!
