How TimeBanks.Org puts giving into motion.

What it is

A time-credit network in which an hour of help can be recorded as an hour of credit.

Model

Tracked time-credit

Listing does not imply endorsement or partnership.

How it works

TimeBanks.Org’s public “how it works” page describes exchanging help through tracked time credits: one hour received can later be spent as one hour of someone else’s help. That ledger is the point of the model.

What differs

Tracked time-credit is adjacent to gift economies and is not the same as an unconditional gift with no repayment record.
