The DC Time Bank creates circles of giving and receiving. In the DC Time Bank, the unit of exchange is an hour and everyone’s time is valued equally. People exchange language, music, art, cooking, gardening, and design skills, editing and business plan reviews, child and pet care, car rides, and more. There are Time Banks around the country and the world, and the DC Time Bank has over 250 members.
For the upcoming Benevolent Media Festival on November 4-7, we’re launching a Benevolent Media Exchange. We’ll connect people interested in sharing skills with people interested in learning skills for storytelling and design for good. Skills could include anything from exchanging photography skills to sharing social media tips for nonprofit advocacy. By using the DC Time Bank platform, we’ll be able to create ongoing connections between people interested in these ideas! Fill out this form to join in the fun. We’ll do our best to find you a match and send you an invitation to our face-to-face meetup on Saturday, November 5 at 12:00 p.m. at Bread for the City.

Experienced businesspeople know that doing the work and getting paid are two different things. Does your contract spell out the terms clearly and in your favor? We'll talk about scenarios that apply whether you are a developer, an ad-supported website, a customer-facing business, or even a landlord. This will be a fast-paced presentation followed by questions and networking. A cash bar will be available if you need a drink to help the law go down.
Tickets: $15 or $25 in combination with "Top 10 Legal Tips for Starting a New Company."
