The Bay Area Community Exchange (BACE) is a timebank and a fiscally sponsored project of Local Futures, a 501 c(3). Centered in Oakland, California,  since launching our timebank in October 2009, our timebank is available in 144 neighborhoods/area spanning 14 counties in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. We have more than 4000 individual and nonprofit organization members. The BACE Timebank is fully operated by timebank members in exchange for hours, and we operationalize our mission--about 96% of all BACE Timebank operational expenses are paid using hours. We have a dedicated core team of leaders and long-time members, and we're dedicated to remaining an independent resource for people living in the greater Bay Area.

Monica Johnston currently serves as director/coordinator for the BACE Timebank. She has served in various leadership capacities and is an expert in the practical aspects of timebanking. Given her professional background in statistics, she also has experience interpreting and generating timebanking data and research, and she directs the research activity at BACE Timebank. She has counseled timebank coordinators throughout the USA and engaged international scholars, businessowners, and government agency representatives on timebanking in the USA.
