Contributions (7th Tradition)

 

According to OA’s 7th Tradition:

“Every OA group ought to be fully self-supporting through its own contributions, neither soliciting nor accepting outside donations.”  Some of the ways in which your contributions are used by Intergroup include:

  • Providing a central telephone number for information about OA and the local meetings
  • Publishing regular newsletters or bulletins to keep groups informed about each other and upcoming OA events
  • Coordinating speakers, public information and contact with the professional community
  • Sending delegates to regional assemblies and the World Service Business Conference

Contributions made via Zelle (a bank-to-bank transaction) or by check help the Intergroup reduce fees, but if PayPal is more convenient, that is also an option.

ZELLE (no fee)

If you have Zelle through your bank or credit union, send donations via your banking app using gaoaig.treasurer1@gmail.com as the destination email.

If donating on behalf of a group, be sure to include your group number and trusted servant name in the comments or they will not be properly credited.

Checks (no fee)

Make Checks to Greater Atlanta Overeaters Anonymous

If donating on behalf of a group, be sure to include your group number on the check or it will not be properly credited.

PAYPAL
