Ways to Support TVT

Invest in Tri-Valley Transit

Tri-Valley Transit, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
Contributions are tax-deductible.
Federal ID number: 03-0335768.

Please consider making a charitable contribution to Tri-Valley Transit. It is an investment in the economic, social, and environmental health of Central Vermont. Your donation is very powerful. Every $1 you contribute unlocks $4 of government grants for rides or $9 for buses and other necessary infrastructure.

Reliable public transit is an investment in people and prosperity. Economically, it helps riders get and keep jobs, stretches household budgets by reducing the need for costly car ownership, and connects shoppers and patients to essential goods and services. Socially, buses and Dial-a-Ride services keep neighbors connected—supporting independence, reducing isolation, and helping older adults age in place with dignity. Environmentally, every trip taken on transit instead of a single-occupant car reduces emissions and traffic, making our communities cleaner and more livable. Your support keeps these vital connections moving.

Legacy Giving

A planned gift (also known as a legacy gift or bequest) is the transfer of assets to a nonprofit during your lifetime, or as part of your will or estate plan.

You don’t have to be wealthy to do it! Planned gifts can be made by anyone in any amount, and are seen by some people as an opportunity to make the gift they never could during their lifetimes.

To leave a gift in your will, simply share this sentence with your attorney or financial planner:

“I give and bequeath unto Tri-Valley Transit, tax ID 03-0335768 (amount or % of estate) to be used for general charitable purposes.”

If you’ve included Tri-Valley Transit in your will or estate planning, please let us know. We’d love the opportunity to thank you.
