Why Make a Donation?

Because you are sick and tired of the noise that is adversely affecting your life and you want to do something about it. Noise pollution is a public health problem affecting millions of people. Noise pollution blights communities and ruins the environment.


How Much Should You Donate?

That depends entirely on you.

You may want to consider the unique value of our work and what we are dealing with. The industries that cause adverse noise pollution spend millions of dollars a year lobbying officials on legislation that favors their interests.

Even so, we empower ordinary people with the tools and resources they need to confront noise pollution issues in their lives and community. There is strength in numbers and there is power in each of us.

A Personal Note

People should not have to be held captive to those who think nothing to pollute their lives with noise. There has been too much abuse going on for too long and the insanity affecting all our lives must stop.

Reducing noise pollution is less about money and more about taking action, but the reality is that funds go a long way to effectively increase public awareness of noise pollution as a public health issue.

Our group is not orchestrated nor influenced by traditional power structures, such as a corporation or a government agency. Our funding and resources come from individual donors. We can take small contributions and do big things with it, because we make every dollar count. We have no wasteful overhead and fancy offices.

When you make a donation, you are making an investment in the peace of your life, your home and community. I thank you for your support and I really do appreciate it.
