Thanks to the many TCC supporters who gave BIG for transit on May 2nd! You helped us raise almost $10,000, which was our goal.

Your generosity will help us continue to fight for a sustainable funding source for transit—we can’t afford to lose one more hour of bus service—and for policies that support innovative and efficient transportation investments.

We appreciate you and your support of transit for all!

On May 2nd, the Seattle Foundation is hosting its second annual GiveBIG Day, a community-wide giving challenge and a great opportunity for local nonprofits to stretch their fundraising dollars. For every dollar TCC raises on May 2nd, we'll receive a proportional match from the Seattle Foundation. (Find more about how this works here.) We hope you'll consider donating to Transportation Choices on GiveBIG Day.

Want a good reason to give on May 2nd? How about three?

  • We put your dollars to work. We save bus service, educate citizens, pass innovative legislation, and sit through a lot of boring meetings so you don't have to. (We love boring meetings!) Plus, we have some fun new programs up our sleeves for the summer. Stay tuned...
  • Your money will be matched twice. Our amazing board has agreed to match the first $3,500 in donations on GiveBIG Day. And, if you work for an organization that matches your charitable donations, it will be a triple win for TCC.
  • It's tough out there. Changing the way this state does transportation is hard. Sometimes it feels like there are more setbacks than victories. We're up to the challenge--we've been working for real choices in Washington since 1993--but we can't do it without you.

So, mark your calendars (vcal reminder; ical reminder) for May 2nd--the day to give BIG to TCC!
