How do I tip CKNow?

Tap “Leave a tip” and choose any amount from $2 to $1,000. Payment is handled securely by Stripe, and you’ll get a receipt by email.

Are tips tax-deductible?

No. CKNow is an independent local business, not a registered charity, so we can’t issue tax receipts.

Where does the money go?

Into keeping CKNow running and free to read: the newsletter platform, the website, and the time it takes to put each issue together.

Can I advertise instead?

Yes. Advertising starts at $35 for a Community Bulletin, and you can book and pay online. See all the options on our advertise page.
