The Portland Time Bank is a membership organization where services are exchanged for Time Dollars, the currency of equality. Members utilize their personal assets (the skills and talents they wish to share) in exchange for services they want or need. These service exchanges enhance their lives, save cash dollars and build relationships with neighbors. Every hour of service is valued equally, hour for hour.

The Portland Time Bank was founded in 1997 (formerly Maine Time Dollar Network) by local activist and physician Dr. Richard Rockefeller after he met and was inspired by the movement’s founder, Dr. Edgar Cahn. Currently there are over 600 active members providing over 1500 services in 243 categories. In 2007, members exchanged over 17,000 hours of services in over 4,000 transactions!
