Our Mission
San Diego Vintage Trolley, Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the Metropolitan Transit System, aims to recapture a piece of a beloved era in public transportation by acquiring and restoring vintage streetcars for operation in San Diego.

 
 
 
 
 

Keep the Dream Alive

 

The expansion of Vintage Trolley depends on the generous donations from corporations, businesses and individuals. PCC #529 was the result of more than 3,000 hours of volunteer labor and more than $850,000 in material and monetary donations. No public funds were utilized in the restoration of PCC #529 and none will be used for future restoration efforts.

San Diego Vintage Trolley, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) corporation and all contributions are deductible for tax purposes to the extent permitted by current law.

There are many ways to give:

  Cash

Checks made payable to San Diego Vintage Trolley offer immediate funding for restoration needs. Pledges may be made payable over a 3-year period on an annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly basis.
  Appreciated Assets

Stocks, bonds, real estate, life insurance, or any other asset that carries no lien or liability may be used as a gift.
  Planned Gifts and Bequests

This special type of support offers a way to maximize your contribution while helping you meet specific income tax and estate objectives.
  In-Kind Gifts

These goods and services offer budget relief for the project, effectively providing what is needed in lieu of a cash contribution.
  Commemorative Gifts
An opportunity to memorialize or honor a family member, friend, or loved one with a lasting legacy of your generosity in restoring the magic.

All contributions are deductible for tax purposes to the extent permitted by current law. For additional information or to discuss a particular gift, please contact:

Recognition Opportunities
There are a number of ways San Diego Vintage Trolley will provide visible and lasting recognition of your important gift. You can be a lasting part of the restoration of five more vintage post-war PCC's, and help to expand the Silver Line fleet through downtown San Diego.

In expression of its gratitude, San Diego Vintage Trolley will provide visible public recognition by placing appropriate designations in prominent areas of the Vintage Trolleys. In this way, the name of the donor, or the donor’s tribute in honor or memory of a loved one, becomes permanently linked to the San Diego Vintage Trolley and the Silver Line. Families, individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations can be gratefully acknowledged through this program.
