Why You Should Support On the Road Lending

Lonnie Smith · August 22, 2022

Did you know that donating can make you feel better? A recent article in Fast Company explained that scientific studies show spending money on others feels better than splurging on ourselves and that when we give, our brain’s reward circuitry lights up more than when we receive.

So, giving is not only beneficial to those who receive but to those who give. I hope you will consider donating to On the Road Lending’s prosperity movement. Other than making you feel good, we have many other compelling reasons for you to support our work. Here are just five that we hope will ignite your passion and support.

  1. On the Road Lending provides a loan product that is 50-60% cheaper than what’s available in the open market. We take a different approach—we get to know people. Our life-changing auto loans open doors and opportunities for hardworking individuals and families. We invest in people and their future success because we know an affordable, reliable vehicle will help them access healthier food options, medical care and better jobs.
  2. On the Road Lending is good for the environment. On average, our fuel-efficient vehicles help reduce carbon emissions by 30% compared to previous vehicles our clients were driving.
  3. On the Road Lending delivers results. Our clients increase their credit scores by an average of 157 points over the life of the loan and save over $20,000. That is a tangible return on your investment.
  4. By supporting On the Road Lending, you are lending a helping hand—not a handout, but a hand up.
  5. And, most importantly, your gift to On the Road Lending helps individuals and families whose stories will also make you feel good! Read more about our successful clients here.

We cannot do our work without the generosity of donors. Please give what you can to help us serve more families, and many thanks to those who have supported us in the past.

Beginning September 1, 2022, your gifts to On the Road Lending through North Texas Giving Day will make an even bigger collective impact. No matter where you live, you can contribute here.
