The Drive for Charity is an initiative where the toll proceeds from a single day on the Greenway …are distributed to charitable organizations that benefit Loudoun County!

Since the toll road opened in 1996, Toll Road Investors Partnership II, L.P. (TRIP II), owners of the Dulles Greenway, has had a long-standing commitment to the community's welfare.

From the beginning, TRIP II provided funding for local youth sports teams, elementary school fundraisers, and high school graduation events. But in 2006, TRIP II had a desire to expand its support of the community, and initiated the Drive For Charity Event…

These 6 charities will share in the distribution of the Drive for Charity’s 1-day gross revenues in 2009, 2010 and 2011:

• The March of Dimes (National Capital Area chapter).
• Every Citizen Has Opportunities
• Loudoun Abused Women's Shelter.
• FreshAir/Full Care, a charitable organization that provides funding for the benefit of children being served by Loudoun County’s Department of Social Services.
• Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy.
• and the Dulles Greenway Citizenship Award.

These organizations were selected based on the valuable contribution they provide to the local community in the areas of community outreach, youth health & welfare, and the environment.

To ensure long-term funding, TRIP II chose to make a 3-year commitment to each organization selected.

In 2009,  the proceeds from the event exceeded expectations and over $230,000 was raised

• The March of Dimes the funding from the Dulles Greenway Drive for Charity is used to partially fund the NICU Family Support at Inova Fairfaz Hospital for Children in Northern Virginia.  Funds provide a part-time NICU Family Support Specialist to oversee activities of the program, as well as support activities in the program, (Patient Care Kits, Parent Education Hours and Patient Safety Classes).
