What your donation funds

Your vehicle donation can create a substantial impact within the animal welfare sector. For instance, a sale amounting to $2,500 could fund the care of approximately 10 animals at a local no-kill shelter, covering essential veterinary services, food, and shelter for each animal. This support not only helps place animals in loving homes but also contributes to community educational programs focused on responsible pet ownership and animal care.

How we route proceeds

Before routing proceeds from vehicle donations, we meticulously verify the eligibility of partner organizations. This includes checking their IRS 501(c)(3) status, reviewing financial transparency, and ensuring they align with our mission of advancing animal welfare. By partnering only with credible entities, we maximize the positive impact of your generous contributions.
