Who Can Be Nominated?
Advocates must be able to vouch for the character and determination of the person they are nominating, and must be willing to help the client continue to meet future goals.
Please verify that your nominee meets ALL of these requirements to be considered for our program.
If you have questions or would like to be considered as a rare exception, please send us an email (info@onrampdfw.org) before continuing.

If your nominee meets these qualifications and you would like to advocate for them, please fill out the form below.
Once a nomination has been submitted, we will review it and, if we decide to move forward, will send you a full application to give to the person you are nominating. That full application gets into goals, finances, and vehicular needs. Once they complete the application, we will schedule an in-person interview with you, your nominee, and our OnRamp DFW Client Committee.
