TIERS
$5 - Strength In Numbers
$5 level patrons will play a huge role in keeping the stamina behind OPIRG Brock as we face significant financial barriers ahead. While it make seem like a small amount, many people all paying into this level will have significant impact.
For example, if we got 1000 people (big goal) to sign up up as $5 patrons for 12 months, that would secure us $60,000 - which would have huge impacts on our ability to continue to offer campaigns and programs in the Niagara region.
Make sure to share widely with your communities that for only $5 per month (and sharing this Patreon widely) you will be able to help keep OPIRG Brock afloat.
$10 - OPIRG Brock Membership (Individual)
$10 level patrons have the opportunity to become functioning members of OPIRG Brock right away. Not only does this mean you are able to have a say in the organization through monthly board meetings, you are also able to vote and/or run in our annual board elections.
If we could secure 100 patrons at this level for 12 months, this would secure OPIRG Brock 12,000 which would have huge impacts on our abilities to run our regular programming such as the Free Store, the Anti-Oppression Workshop Series, Free Naloxone Trainings, & more!
We reach out to our membership on a semi-regular basis for support around volunteering and outreach, which is an integral community network to connect to. We want to make sure our membership are continually connected to as many events and opportunities in the region as possible.
