Non-profits Service FAQs
In our non-profits services FAQs, you'll find information on booking procedures, service options, customization of amenities, pricing details, and sustainability benefits. You will also learn about how to contact us for more information when you have a more complex non-profits service to plan.
Does my bus rental come with a driver?
Yes, all buses chartered through Bus.com come with a vetted, professional driver, ensuring your group arrives at their destination safely and on time.
When should I book my non-profit bus rental?
Ideally, we recommend that bus charters be rented six months in advance. However, we know that this is not always possible! Our booking system can also find you the perfect bus options for trips that are happening sooner. Our online booking system can accommodate last-minute bookings in certain markets — if you do not see any options listed for your last-minute trip, please contact us.
Do your buses have restrooms?
While all coach bus rentals come equipped with a restroom, it is not the norm among any other vehicle type.
Can your bus accommodate my group’s luggage?
Yes! Our coach buses are quite spacious, with room for bags underneath the bus as well as occasionally in the overhead compartments. For school buses, storage space can be more limited, although in some cases there is luggage space under the bus as well.

Public charities vs. charitable foundations
Based on the way that funds are generated, all tax-exempt charitable organizations are categorized into either foundations or public charities. A foundation is a charitable non-profit entity created and funded by a business or an individual. Charities exist to support the advancement of science, public health, disaster relief, environmental protection, community education, animal welfare, human rights advocacy, and more. Operating private foundations often distribute money to their charitable programs.
Non-profit types by mission and model
Voluntary Association
A Voluntary Association is any group or union of individuals that enter an agreement and form an entity for a specific purpose (for example helping a retirees’ community, a school, protecting local historical sites, or improving night safety).
Veterans Organization
A Veterans Organization (also ex-service organization) is an organization either composed of or dedicated to those who served in the country’s armed forces or participated in armed conflicts. Some examples are The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW), and Veterans Affairs Canada.
Social Advocacy Organization
A Social Advocacy Organization (or an advocacy group) is a non-profit or volunteer association influencing public opinion and policies to promote social justice or solve community issues. Some well-known US advocacy groups include the American Civil Liberties Union, TASH, Human Rights Campaign, and Human Rights Watch.
Right-size transportation for any type of non-profits service
What is fundraising?
For every non-profit that relies on the public to fund its activities, fundraising is the most critical operation of all. Universities and colleges are known for their significant fundraising efforts (fund appeals, advancement programs, and more). For public charities, fundraising events are the fastest way to accumulate much-needed money for their programs, raise community awareness about the cause, or to recruit volunteers.
