Our Commitment
Rt66.com is committed to financially supporting Historic Route 66 Preservation, Development and Promotion activities.
Rt66.com contributes $5 of every annual subscription to Historic Route 66 preservation, development and promotion activities. The $5 contribution rolls over with renewals to provide a continuing income stream.
Funds generated by the program are directed to eligible Route 66 focused not-for-profit (US 501 (c) 3) organizations. State and local Route 66 entities can participate in the program to support their fund-raising efforts.
Each subscriber has the opportunity to select one of the qualified entities to receive program funding. The default not-for-profit selection is The Road Ahead Partnership.
