The Fare Connection establishes monthly donation drives in the D.C. area. We have created a thriving network of partnerships between community leaders, non-profits, and food banks. In addition to creating new partnerships, the Fare Connection works with pre-existing partnerships to increase donations by at least 50%. The Fare Connection also hosts a Leadership Program for high school girls. Each mentee accepted to this program hosts her own fundraiser and drive for the non-profit of her choice, receives one-on-one training from leaders in the political, non-profit, and marketing industries. The average Fare Connection drive costs $50 to set up, once established it will yield over 1,000 donations per month.
