Support the Campaign

One Dollar.
No Influence.

We are asking every resident of Vancouver who wants better from City Hall to contribute one dollar. That's it. More is welcome — but one dollar is enough to count.

Why $1?

A Show of Support,
Not a Purchase

We are seeking just one dollar from everyone as a show of support — but more is welcome. Whether it's $1 or $100, it will not buy you or your business interests any influence.

This campaign is funded by residents, not interests. The money goes toward flyers, signs, SkyTrain outreach, and the actual work of running. Not to consultants. Not to a political machine.

If you contribute $1, you are saying: someone should actually try to fix this city. That is what Scott is doing.

Scott's Commitment to Contributors
"Whether you give one dollar or the maximum allowed, it will not buy you or your business interests any influence over this campaign or what I do in office. That is the whole point. I am running to end the pay-to-play culture at City Hall — not to continue it at a smaller scale."
— Scott Gilbert

What This Means in Practice

Zero Influence. Literally.

No meetings about your business interests

If you contribute and later contact the campaign or Mayor's office about a permit, contract, or business matter, you will be treated exactly the same as if you had not contributed.

No preferential treatment on city contracts

City contracts are awarded on merit. A campaign contribution is not a factor, and contributing while seeking a city contract will be treated as a reason for additional scrutiny, not less.

No access that non-contributors don't have

The campaign's public email and volunteer programs are open to everyone. Contributing does not get you a phone number, a private meeting, or advance notice of anything.

What you do get: the photo op

Every volunteer who helps leaflet SkyTrain stations gets a photo with Scott before he gets too busy after winning. That offer is literal. It is the closest thing to buying influence this campaign will ever offer — and it costs one hour and a stack of flyers, not a cheque.

B.C. Campaign Financing Rules

Campaign contributions are governed by the British Columbia Local Elections Campaign Financing Act. Key rules:

  • Who can contribute: Only individuals who are residents of British Columbia and are Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
  • Corporations and unions: Prohibited from making contributions.
  • Contribution limits: Set annually by Elections BC. The campaign's financial agent will confirm the current limit before accepting any contribution.
  • Disclosure: All contributions above the disclosure threshold are publicly reported. Scott supports full transparency.

The campaign's financial agent will confirm your eligibility and provide compliant payment details. Do not send cash or payment without first receiving instructions.
