Patrick Maher for Central Ward

I am not usually one to ask for donations. The entire Save The Cranker campaign was self-funded by me and two other board members, along with the donation of volunteers’ time and use of equipment. No funds were ever raised. Similarly, I have worked tirelessly to deliver this campaign from scratch, with the assistance of a community of volunteers for letterboxing and outreach.

As an independent candidate I am not supported by any party funds or assisted in organisation by any political machine. The unfortunate reality is that election campaigns are expensive and I cannot compete with the party-backed candidates without your help!

I have created a Paypal donation campaign, linked above. It is the easiest way for me to receive small donations and the required disclosure information.

Your information is being collected for legal disclosure reasons. Cumulative donations of $499 or less can be made anonymously. Cumulative donations of $500 or more must be disclosed. Individual donations of $1500 or more must be disclosed. The disclosure period is the year prior to the election. Note that there will be another election in 2026 and I intend to run then too.

You may be able to claim your donation in your next tax return. Ask your accountant for specific advice.

IF YOU WISH TO MAKE A DIRECT DONATION, PLEASE DISCUSS WITH PATRICK AND PROVIDE YOUR DETAILS VIA EMAIL.
