Membership tiers
Monthly donations
Our monthly donor program includes membership and starts at $5 per month, but isn’t otherwise limited! This is a simple and pain-free way for you to donate. You may not notice $5 or even $55 per month, but over the year it provides a generous donation to GaLTT. You won’t need a reminder to renew and we will have a more predictable cash flow through the year. You may change or cancel the arrangement at any time.
You can arrange these monthly payments through Canada Helps—click the DONATE button—or by automatic transfer from any major Canadian banking organization to GaLTT’s account at the Gabriola branch of Coastal Community Credit Union. You will receive one charitable tax receipt for your total donation at the end of the calendar year.

Joint memberships
In 2024 GaLTT restructured its membership categories, replacing “family” memberships with “joint” memberships. A joint membership is for any two individuals, who do not have to be related or members of the same household. Joint memberships are entitled to 2 votes at general meetings. (Note that charitable tax receipts will only be issues to one of the joint members, the person designated on the application form as “primary.”)
Group memberships
We also offer memberships for businesses and community groups— email us at membership@galtt.ca to find out about them or if you have any other questions about membership.
