BACE Timebank leaders rely on membership surveys to make programming and outreach decisions. Here is summary of results for our 2023 BACE Membership Survey:
- 58 members responded
- 90% of members plan to timebank in 2024
- Nearly 60% of members plan to timebank in person for half of their exchanges.
- Members believe that it is at least somewhat important for people in their neighborhoods to have access to a timebank, but not as many members believe that they personally need access to a timebank.
- Members want to keep the timebank free to join and free to use
- Members want a platform that is easy to use
- Members were diverse in age, gender identity, race, and languages spoken
Findings suggest that BACE Timebank leaders needs to (1) increase outreach to younger people, BIPOC, and bi-lingual people, (2) improve messaging around mission-driven membership, (3) improve messaging for timebanking as a regular practice, (4) explore ways to improve the timebank platform
Note: Participants were not randomly selected to participate, so results of this survey may not represent the needs and interests of all members.
