Membership - Patreon
In 2023 we have introduced membership.
We made this decision for a combination of reasons including that your financial support assists Conversation at the Crossroads to grow, to offer richer events, to support those with barriers of access, and to enable us to provide a platform for members to connect with each other.
Membership is priced at $2 per month of individuals. If you have any problems subscribing, technical or financial, please email us at admin@crossroadsconversation.com.au.

Bank Account
You can also use a bank account as your funding source; however, you'll need to add it directly to your PayPal wallet.

Once you’ve added your bank account to your PayPal wallet, you can add PayPal to Patreon and select your bank account during the authorization process.
