Crowdsource Your Dream
Raising the funds to purchase a VertaCat can be achieved through community support and fundraising. Here are some ways that have worked for other VertaCat users:
Engage Your Own Community
Friends, family, members of your church or synagogue, and colleagues are often more than willing to support loved ones and their dreams. Explain to your network why the VertaCat is a game-changer and consider holding a fundraising event.
Connect With Fellow Enthusiasts
Consider reaching out to the broader golfing or outdoors community, whether it’s online or in person. You may find support from individuals who admire your dedication. You’ll find many fundraising and support opportunities in the military veterans community as well.
Find Local Funding Sources
In addition to adaptive technology grants and networking, many local communities offer charitable funding to area groups and individuals. Investigate your area for foundations such as United Way, relevant government sectors like Parks and Recreation, your local business and community foundations. If they are unable to assist in the purchase of a VertaCat for you individually, they might still be interested in investing in the VertaCat for the benefit of the entire community.
Start a GoFundMe Campaign
Creating a GoFundMe campaign is a dynamic way to rally support for purchasing your VertaCat. GoFundMe enables you to craft a compelling narrative, share your purpose and objectives, and reach a broad audience of donors. To kickstart a campaign, visit GoFundMe and establish a campaign that supports your life circumstances.
Not just a cart, a life-changer!
Finally, someone built a machine for the physically challenged golfer that isn’t just a glorified golf cart or wheelchair. VertaCat is a well thought out engineering achievement that is going to change a lot of lives.
Golf freedom, compact fit!
There are so many things to love about VertaCat like the ability to fine-tune my position, the fact that I can keep up with other golfers in their golf carts, the fact that it doesn’t damage greens, the fact that I can bring swing freely with nothing inhibiting my swing. But what surprised me the most was the fact that it fits easily in the back of a minivan or SUV.
Rewarding & easy standup activities!
VertaCat makes playing golf, and other standup activities for that matter, much more rewarding and far easier, too. The attention to important detail is amazing. This is one high-performance machine.
