Donation

Choose from Donation amounts here to contribute to Rabble's Pay It Forward Program! We will collate these donations and issue $35 vouchers for those who need it. You can add multiple Donation items into your cart if you want to donate a larger amount.

Who can request them? Anyone can request a voucher, if you have a need for one! We don't require an explanation. Two key groups of people that might request a voucher are:

(1) First Nations people, who shouldn't always have to pay for knowledge shared on stolen lands; and

(2) anyone who wouldn't otherwise be able to easily afford a book, including single mums, people on low income, young people without a wage.

If you want a book but can't afford it, this voucher is for you! Please get in touch on social media, email or in-store and we will pass one along to you.

The Program in 2021

With your help, in 2021 we donated over $2,500 in Pay It Forward vouchers. About $1,000 was donated by customers, i.e. YOU! Thank you! And the rest was donated by Rabble.

Additionally in 2021 and again with your help, we donated over $3,500 worth of books to the Freedom Centre in a targeted book drive. How amazing!! Learn more about the work of the Freedom Centre here.

History of the Program

We believe that books are essential! This program was created during the pandemic in 2020 when it became clear that there was a growing inequity between those who could and could not afford books, particularly for the period in which libraries were closed. We started with a "Community Books" program, of curated titles available for free. It has now evolved into this voucher program where those who need it can access $35 vouchers to use in the shop.
