Our Getting Started Checklist

We've crafted a vision to offer free rides with love and dignity. Help us refine it by sharing your ideas or joining our board to guide our path.

We're filing paperwork with the Georgia Secretary of State to officially become a nonprofit. This includes choosing our name, "Christian Angel Ride Foundation," and setting up bylaws.

We're applying to the IRS for tax-exempt status, so your donations can be tax-deductible. This step ensures we can accept gifts and grants to fund free rides.

We're creating christianangelride.org (pending availability) to share our mission, collect donations, and connect with riders. It'll feature our story, donation tiers, and rider sign-up.

We're launching Stripe for one-time and monthly donations ($25-$100 tiers) and tracking supporters to send receipts once we're 501(c)(3)-approved.

We're designing a system to book free rides, ensuring accessibility for special needs and medical appointments. This may integrate with our for-profit arm's app, keeping funds separate.

We need compassionate drivers and volunteers who share our Christian values. They'll undergo background checks and training to serve with care.

We're connecting with churches, veteran groups, and medical providers to identify riders and spread our mission.

We're ensuring safety with liability and vehicle insurance, plus planning for volunteer or leased vehicles to start rides.

Once funded and set up, we'll roll out free rides in a pilot city, bringing hope to those who need it most.
