Donate

According to our Seventh Tradition, we are self-supporting through our own contributions. 

• Donations from Meeting Treasurers
• Donations for SVIOA Events
• Donations from Individuals

Meeting treasurers are typically responsible for making payments to ensure meetings are self-sufficient (i.e. rent, Zoom account costs, etc.), and also to do periodic service splits to Intergroup, Region 2, and World Service as agreed to by the group.

Here are some ways you can contribute:

• Individual meetings: Ask the group treasurer on the best way to get them the money. One way to keep track is to keep an envelope for each phone or online meeting you attend. Every time you participate, put your 7th Tradition donation in the envelope and periodically send a lump donation to the group treasurer.
