Beyond BASIC
Beyond BASIC is growing as an organization, however, there are still numerous financial needs that we have not been able to meet through obtaining grants or fundraising. These are some of the large initiatives that Beyond BASIC would greatly benefit from having granted.
Initiative: 15-16 Passenger Van
Beyond BASIC would greatly benefit from a larger and more dependable passenger van. In January 2022 Beyond BASIC will received a $5,000.00 grant from Post and Courier.. We need a vehicle that staff can use to safely transport a full group of Teammates. Currently, staff have to use a donated van that cannot fit more than 5 Teammates comfortably. This means that other staff have to use their personal vehicles to transport Teammates which is a liability or Beyond BASIC pays out of pocket for the cost of taxis (rideshares).
One of the core elements of Beyond BASIC is increasing our presence in the community through volunteering and to educate community members about everyone’s different abilities. Currently, we lack the ability to effectively and affordably transport our Teammates and a 16-passenger van would make this much easier and safer..
