Our volunteered time is always free. However, printed materials, large format maps, advertising, technical and consulting services cost money. To date we have funded these from our own pockets, but there's only so much personal money we can afford to contribute. That is why we encourage you to donate a small amount of money so that FOTO may continue to advocate for effective transit and transportation solutions for Ottawa.
FOTO is an affiliate member of Transport 2000, which handles record keeping and accounting of the donations we receive.
As Transport 2000 is a registered charity, official tax receipts can be issued and any such donations will be spent conforming to Transport 2000's mission statement, which is: "Transport 2000 Canada represents the interests of users of public transportation by promoting socially environmentally and economically sustainable policies, programs, services, and actions."
Transport 2000 can receive payments by cash, cheque or VISA, and at the request of FOTO has also set up a PayPal account to simplify donations via the web.
Donate online, or by mailing a cheque to:
Transport 2000
Box 858, Station B
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
K1P 5P9
Write "Friends of the O-Train" on your cheque.
Thank You!
