Mission and programs · 2023
Mission
Easy Lift is a non-profit charitable organization established to provide transportation to senior citizens and people with disabilities in South Santa Barbara County who cannot use regular bus service.
Activities or mission (Part I)
Fulfilling our communitys need for specialized transportation for the elderly and or disabled.
-
As the designated consolidated transportation service agency for South Santa Barbara County Easy Lift addresses transportation needs by vulnerable niches of our community ranging from the elderly and disabled to impoverished children to homeless veterans. The Dial-a-ride program is Easy Lifts largest current service. Individuals require our paratransit services to visit medical and other service centers essential to their physical and mental health shop and visit with family. Of the 3,400 current passengers 70% report low income approximately 38% use mobility devices and 70% are elderly. Our transportation services also include a variety of specialized transportation shuttles for children charitable events community services as well as act as an emergency resource for the county and municipalities during disasters. Our transportation service also includes the CAT program for Children. Easy Lift found transportation was lacking for underprivileged children to access life betterment programs and now dedicates one full time vehicle for CAT at no charge to the family or the youth agencies with whom we collaborate. 100% of the unduplicated children served are from low income homes transitional housing or shelters and use CAT to reach school after-school programs counseling camps and other group activities which foster a promising future.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
