Colorado Gives Day is December 8, 2026. Donations to Colorado nonprofits can help sustain the transportation services, mobility resources and community programs that allow older adults and people with disabilities to remain independent and connected.
Access to reliable transportation is about much more than getting from one place to another. For older adults who no longer drive, people with disabilities, and residents of rural communities, transportation can determine whether they can get to a medical appointment, purchase groceries, visit family, go to work or participate in community activities.
Colorado Gives provides an opportunity to support organizations working to remove those barriers. Several Colorado transportation and independent-living organizations are participating in the Colorado Gives fundraising platform, including All Points Transit, the Denver Regional Mobility & Access Council (DRMAC), Northwest Colorado Center for Independence (NWCCI), and Southern Colorado Community Action Agency (SoCoCAA), which operates Road Runner Transit.
Supporting these organizations helps strengthen the services and resources that make independent living possible.

DRMAC: Helping People Find Transportation Solutions
DRMAC – Colorado Gives 2026 Fundraising Campaign
The Denver Regional Mobility & Access Council (DRMAC) works to overcome transportation barriers through education, collaboration and advocacy.

Its programs include:
- Information & Assistance Center: A phone and text service helping people locate and arrange transportation.
- Getting There Travel Training: Free in-person and virtual instruction to help people navigate public transportation.
- Getting There Guide and App: Resources connecting residents with transportation services throughout the region.

DRMAC's 2026 Colorado Gives campaign, Connected Communities: The Gift of Mobility, has a $5,000 fundraising goal.
The campaign identifies specific funding priorities, including transportation assistance, travel training, multilingual transportation guides, specialized rides and regional advocacy.
Contributions to this campaign support the work that helps people find transportation solutions and maintain connections to their communities.
DRMAC's campaign is conducted through the Colorado Nonprofit Development Center (CNDC), its nonprofit supporting organization.
NWCCI: Promoting Independence and Access
Northwest Colorado Center for Independence – Colorado Gives Donation Page
The Northwest Colorado Center for Independence (NWCCI) works with people with disabilities and older adults to develop the skills, resources and support needed to live independently.
NWCCI serves residents in Grand, Moffat, Routt, Rio Blanco and Summit counties.
Its services include independent living skills development, peer support, advocacy, information and referrals, benefits assistance, transition services and transportation.
The organization also helps people identify transportation providers and navigate available services so they can reach medical appointments, employment, community activities and other important destinations.
NWCCI emphasizes individual choice and works with people to establish personal goals and develop plans for achieving greater independence.
One important aspect of its work is that services are provided without charging the individuals it assists.
Donations through Colorado Gives help NWCCI continue providing these services to residents throughout its service area.
Road Runner Transit: Connecting Southwest Colorado

Road Runner Transit Official Website
Road Runner Transit provides public transportation connecting communities in southwest Colorado.
The program is operated by Southern Colorado Community Action Agency (SoCoCAA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a long history of providing community services.
Road Runner Transit connects Ignacio, Bayfield and Durango, with intercity service between Durango and Grand Junction.
Transportation services include fixed-route transportation, door-to-door rides, airport shuttles and Bustang connections.
For older adults and residents who cannot drive, these services provide important connections to healthcare, shopping, employment and other destinations.
SoCoCAA also provides senior services, including meals, outreach, information and referrals, and assistance navigating community resources.
Although Road Runner Transit does not have a separate Colorado Gives organization profile, its parent organization, SoCoCAA, is registered on the platform and accepts donations.
Donors interested in supporting transportation specifically should contact SoCoCAA to ask whether contributions can be designated for Road Runner Transit.
Why Supporting Transportation Matters
Transportation is closely connected to health, independence and quality of life.
When older adults lose the ability to drive, access to reliable alternatives can make the difference between remaining active in their communities and becoming increasingly isolated.
For people with disabilities, accessible transportation can provide opportunities for employment, education, healthcare and community participation.
In rural Colorado, where distances between communities and essential services can be significant, maintaining transportation options is especially important.
Donations help nonprofit organizations sustain services, develop new resources, assist residents in navigating transportation systems and address gaps that traditional public transportation may not cover.
