Planned Giving

Ride Connection's planned giving option allows you to give a gift that can ensure accessible transportation services for older adults and people with disabilities. With our "Legacy Gifts Program" we ask you to consider a gift that will provide lasting benefits to Ride Connection.

Our Endowment Fund is our "bank account for the future", that provides a permanent source of funding for accessible transportation for older adutls and people with disabilities. The earnings or interest are available each year for programs and services.

A gift today to the endowment means a continuous stream of funding for us for years to come.

• Make a check in any amount and designate the funds for the endowment fund.
• Prepare a will. Without a will, you may lose control over your belongings and assets. Review and update your will when changes occur in your family, marital or financial status.
