VTC Foundation
Ensuring the long-term financial stability of the Volunteer Transportation Center.
Our Story
The Volunteer Transportation Center Foundation, Inc. was established in 2018 and formally received its 501(c)(3) nonprofit status in 2021. As our mission states, the sole purpose of the foundation is to ensure the long-term financial stability of the Volunteer Transportation Center, Inc.
Those who have historically made donations to the Volunteer Transportation Center may now make their donations to the Volunteer Transportation Center Foundation, knowing their contributions continue providing charitable transportation for people in need in the communities we serve.
Why Is Our Mission Important?
The Volunteer Transportation Center Foundation strives to support the great work of the Volunteer Transportation Center, which provides essential rides to health, social, and other destinations free of charge for residents of Northern New York who have no transportation alternatives.
The service the Volunteer Transportation Center provides is free to those we transport, and the cost is covered, in many instances, by insurance providers and contracts the VTC has with various agencies. However, those the VTC transports who don’t fall under one of these categories are provided transportation through the fundraisers we host and the generosity of donors like you. That’s where the work of the Volunteer Transportation Center Foundation comes in.
