Saskatchewan company, K+S Potash Canada, puts people first

We first “met” K+S Potash in September of 2023. They arrived on the site with a single F-150 and a question: Would it be possible to donate several decomissioned company vehicles from their Bethune, Saskatchewan location? Eighteen (18!) trucks later and we can heartily say, Yes! It most certainly is possible.

The company asked themselves,

“What does it mean to be a good neighbour?”

And they came up with a robust answer: Being a good neighbor means considering others. 

They strive to be respectful, aware, and approachable. They aim to do the right thing, and to always keep in mind the full lifecycle of our projects. Being a good neighbour is a vital part of they are, helping them operate in Saskatchewan for years to come. 

They demonstrate their commitment to being a good neighbour through community involvement and environmental care. Building and maintaining meaningful relationships with local Indigenous Peoples and communities in the regions were K+S Potash Canada operates is key to this commitment, too.

Building Youth in Saskatchewan and British Columbia

You’ll want to visit the K+S Potash Canada Face Book page! But before you do, we just want to circle back to this company’s vehicle donation generosity.

After our first encounter with K+S and their Ford F-150 in September of 2023, the rolled into our program in a big way just two months later. That November they donated eight (8!) more trucks. One of the perks of vehicle donation here is that you can choose ANY Canadian charity to receive your gift. This company’s charity-of-choice? Diabetes Canada!

Flip the calendar forward: In early October 2024 we received another ten (yes…10!) truck donations…for the same charity!

But back to youth in Saskatchewan and BC. If you visit the company’s Face Book page you’ll see that this kind of giving is nothing new for them. They have their own initiative called Youth+Us with an aim to “build a healthier happier future” for youth. They are committed to empowering the young people in our communities and create lasting, meaningful change. 

Then came 2025 – K+S Potash wasn’t done giving yet!

We shouldn’t have been surprised, then, when this money-where-their-heart-is company rolled back on in with another multi-vehicle donation! Creating their own Christmas miracle, they started with a Dodge Ram. And ended with a Dodge Ram. And, just for good measure, included three more Dodge Rams in between. That’s right! They donated another five 5 company trucks.

Their chosen charity for 2025? The Moose Jaw and District Food Bank.

Repeat fleet for a very Happy New Year 2026

Starting 2026 off right meant donating yet another five Dodge Ram 1500 fleet for the food bank. This is a company that just keeps on giving! Then, two more trucks (a 2014 and a 2016) came rolling in this past Spring. Once again, the gifts were disbursed to the MJDFB. This company is filling the food bank shelves year after year after year!

And what about 2027?

Only time will tell what this community-conscious company has up their giving sleeves!

Inspired to extend a little neighbourly generosity of your own?

K+S Potash Canada is one company that has their community foot forward in Saskatchewan and BC. If you as an individual, or as a company representative, are inspired to follow their example, there are so many creative ways to do so!

For our part, we are at the ready to support you in vehicle donation. If you are donating more than one vehicle at a time you can even choose different charities for each one. The process is kept simple and quick. The tow (or tows) is/are always free. Furthermore, you, or your company, will receive a tax receipt issued to the registered vehicle owner.

How much is that tax receipt?

Donate A Car Canada has three possible sale procedures that maximize the donation outcome for our charities:

First, your vehicle may be selected for recycling. The donation amount for a scrap-ready vehicle is between $30.00 – $800.00. This is dependent on the area in which it is donated, and what the market will pay for the year/make/model. The amount that applies to you will always be clearly communicated and you will be given the option to cancel if you feel it does not reflect the value of your vehicle. And remember: the tow is always free!

Second, your vehicle may be considered for sale at auction, and several factors go into qualifying a vehicle for this. These include, but are not limited to, drivability, type of mechanical problems (if any), age, damage, visual appearance, and mileage.

Vehicles sold at auction are sold ‘as is’ and ‘unreserved’. They are sold to the highest bidder, as a full and final sale. Outcome at auction varies. As such, we cannot guarantee a specific sale result.

What if the vehicle isn’t quite scrap ready, but it’s running too rough for auction?

Our third option applies to vehicles that may not perform well at auction, but that are not ready for recycling. Our re-sale/recycle process will see our agent pick up your vehicle for free. Once they have it on their yard they will assess it to determine if it should be re-sold or recycled. This will be based on the current market. If they see re-sale value in your vehicle, they will advertise it to their own buyer base, selling it as-is, to the highest bidder. They will send us the net proceeds from the re-sale price. If they determine that they will not find interested buyers, they will recycle your car.

After the sale of your vehicle and our accounting process is complete, we will email stating the amount of your donation. You will then receive a tax receipt via CanadaHelps within one (1) week of the charity receiving your gift through us.

Our All Canadian company of funny, friendly, efficient humans are on standy-by to work with you or your company on this! We have the experience and expertise to move things along in a hassle-free manner. And you’ll feel 100% good about it every step of the way. Not forgetting your chosen charity, of course! They will benefit most of all.

What comes next? Just fill in an online donation form, or give us a call at 1-877-250-4904. We can’t wait to work with you and your company!

Alberta mechanic shop sets the giving bar crazy-high!

We were first introduced to Erol’s Automotive way back in 2013 (or thereabouts). This well respected and steadily growing mechanic shop in Cochrane, Alberta initiated a relationship with a 1997 Ford Explorer. Their generous efforts have continued ever since!

Over the years this little shop has come across their share of done-in vehicles. Rather than weaseling money out of their customers on hopeless repairs, they consistently advise customers when a vehicle is ready to come off the road. Then they let them know that the option to donate is available! The result? Thousands of donations dollars for dozens of different charities!

That first donation (so long ago, now!) went to the Calgary Children’s Foundation. A Ford Taurus for a children’s hospice and a minivan for the Canadian Cancer Society quickly followed. Jettas, Civics, Sunfires, and Durangos have each raised hundreds of dollars for humane societies, a wolfdog sanctuary, and The War Amps!

Their private customers and company fleet clients have jumped on board. So much good has been done by this one shop in just a few short years!

Ten more…and counting

Richard Automotive is a small town mechanic shop that’s following Erol’s example. So small they don’t even have a website, they can’t be stopped from choosing an area seniors’ support centre and a big city mission as their charities of choice! They’re at ten vehicle donations so far — and they only discovered this giving option in 2025. Their generous practices don’t show any signs of slowin’ down in the years ahead.

Your local mechanic may not be aware that we can get unwanted vehicles removed from their yards. As with Erol’s and Richard’s, we can turn unfixables into giftables! Spread the word!

Clearing the clutter one car at a time

Whether you have a recycle-ready vehicle sitting in the driveway (or the back fourty), or you’ve discovered it’s beyond repair and left it sitting at the mechanic shop, we’re your crew!

Every vehicle counts! When you donate your van, truck, SUV, car, or motorcycle we will assess it for both re-sale and recycle value. Either way, your tow will be free. Your tax receipt will reflect the net proceeds from either process.

Your free tow typically occurs within 3-5 business days of us receiving your donation details. The tow agent will call you to schedule pick up timing that serves you best. They will give you direction regarding your keys and vehicle registration (we need that document to ensure a speedy and legal process). In many provinces you do not need to be present at tow time and can just go about your business while the agent takes care of everything for you. The exception to this is BC, where you need to be present to tend to the ICBC Transfer Form.

Check out our Google Maps reviews, or peruse our social media! You’ll find that vehicle donors are provided exceptional customer services on top of the satisfaction of doing something out of the ordinary. And you could be one of them! It’s good to do some Good together!

Every car is beautiful…in its own way

“Even though at almost 28 years old my car is no longer winning beauty contests, she’s still in great shape for driving. Continues to drive great and is very reliable and comfortable, but has a damaged headlight [driver’s side]; exterior mirror sheared off [passenger side].” C.H. is one of our thoughtful and intentional vehicle donors. An 81 year old on a fixed income, her Vancouver car donation was one way that she could support her favourite charity.

Finding the vehicle donation program that would keep her donation in Canada was important to C.H. Furthermore, having her choice of any Canadian charity was key to her decision to give in this unique way.

Her worries about the esthetic of her Toyota? Re-sale or recycle ready, every donated vehicle makes for generous donation dollars for those charities!

And we really do mean every vehicle — as long as its intact. Our agents do require that donated vehicles have all parts intact, as well as four tires. Beyond that, pings, dings, and blown engines alike are welcome!

How do donors actually feel about their donation experience?

Once it was complete, C.H. offered us some helpful and generous feedback regarding her Vancouver car donation experience:

“I can gratefully say that, at every stage of this process, your very
efficient team was most impressive, and would unhesitatingly recommend your
excellent service to anyone who might benefit from it.
The experience was quick, informative, and my e-mail inquiries were always answered
promptly.
The Donate a Car Canada staff were excellent and the tow agent was very informative.
Billy (the tow agent) was considerate, helpful, informative, and arrived where and when he said he
would without any problems.”

Looking to set up your Vancouver car donation? Here’s how…

Considering donating your own unused or unwanted vehicle? You have come to the right place! Donate a Car Canada has been serving BC charities for over 20 years. Your charity of choice (you read that right: YOU choose the charity!) will never pay a penny for this care. And for you? Well, it just doesn’t get any easier:

The post Vancouver Car Donation | Beautiful or Broken Down, Every Vehicle Counts! appeared first on Donate A Car.

Good vibe donors

Sometimes a donor and their story just get us right in the feels in a special way. Anna and her donated Fiat are one of those combinations! As so many donors do, she came to us with the facts. And, as her process evolved, more and more of her generosity of heart emerged. Bit-by-bit her history of giving and volunteering became apparent — as did her delightful sense of humour!

Oh, the difference one (beloved) donated Fiat can make

“Knowing that Abbey Cat Adoptions will benefit thanks to your auction process makes giving up my car a whole lot easier.” When Anna filled in the form for her donated Fiat she had a sense of just how much the car meant to her,

“(My) attachment may be even a little stronger than for some other folks, as the little Fiat is my first car (I bought it later in life, when moving from Toronto to Durham Region for a few years). But that said, my attachment to organic earthlings, particularly cats, is stronger. I’m so happy that ‘Lola”s sale will benefit Abbey Cats >^^<“

And sweet little Lola did, indeed, make a difference for Abbey Cat Adoptions!

Donated Fiat sent to auction

When a vehicle is donated (for ANY charity in Canada!), it is either re-sold, or recycled.

Vehicle donation begins with a few vehicle notes. Make, model, mileage, and overall condition count. When Anna donated her Fiat, she ticked all of the right boxes for us.

“I got the summer tires put on today and the techs informed me that the car needs to have the alignment done. I’d determined in November, after getting the winter tires put on and spending $3K on fuel induction service, replacing front brake pads and rotors, having the brake system flushed, and 4-wheel alignment, that I would donate the car this spring. I do not have the means for continued bi-annual repair/replacement expenses. Had I chosen to do the alignment and oil change, the car would have been fine. The engine and battery are fine. The car does have a 3-year-old dent / scrape above the rear passenger seat wheel, but the dent / scrape has never rusted. The hood has an odd kind of whitish ring that has been there for several years, perhaps from too much time in the sun?”

Helpful notes on cars like Anna’s Fiat ensure that Donate a Car Canada can properly assess the donated vehicle as saleable, or recycle ready.

Lola was auction ready all the way!

Sale day!

Most vehicle donations skip along at a speedy pace. It is not unusual for the tow truck to arrive within just a day or two of your submission online! That free tow gets things rolling quickly.

When a vehicle is recycled things continue at that pace. You might see your receipt within just a couple of weeks.

Lola the donated Fiat needed a little more time. She was re-sale ready, and our auction house ensured she was picked up in a timely manner. Our re-sale and auction agents make it their business to shop donated vehicles around until they find the buyer willing to offer the strongest dollar return possible for the vehicle. Anna’s car didn’t find her new home right away. She had to roll through more than one auction sale. But when the right buyer arrived on the scene, they made a strong bid. That meant a hearty donation for Abbey Cat and a proper receipt for Anna!

Feline Imperial Auto Transport to Felinethropist

Lola raised $1006.25 at auction! Anna wrote, “It has been a real pleasure donating my car through Donate A Car Canada! Your personal touch is very much appreciated. Now that it’s all official, I will share with you my official tribute to Lola (see below). Lola and I used to transport Abbey Cats to and from vet appointments, hence the Feline Imperial Auto Transport! Thank you for helping me help kitty cats >^^<“

The ripple effect of one donated Fiat

Anna and Lola so touched the hearts of our little team here at Donate a Car Canada. We love-love-love it when generosity comes in layers like this. Lola and her driver were doing Good for kitty care long before we every met them. Then, as it was time for Anna to make a vehicle change, her beloved little car’s legacy was extended by turning it into donation dollars for the Anna’s charity of choice!

And then there’s the layer of inspiring kindness that comes in the sharing of her story. This just all feels so very true-to-heart Canadian. This is the soul of vehicle donation.

If Anna and Lola have inspired you to share in spreading compassion in this practical way, you are just a click away from your own rewarding vehicle donation experience! First, fill in a donation form. Then, sit back and wait for the phone to ring (it’s your tow agent calling to arrange your free tow). Lastly, watch you inbox for your tax receipt. You can gift any Canadian charity!

We can’t wait to work with you as you add your very own ripple of generosity to Lola’s!

Charity Care | Donor Care

Charity and donor care are at the heart of our Canadian car donation program. Every donation dollar counts for boots-on-the-ground Canadian causes. Each vehicle has its own merits. And the donors behind those gifts receive personalized care.

You can select ANY charity in Canada when you donate your vehicle. There is no cost to the charity for this service, and there is not cost to you, the donor, either!

This individualized care comes with unique parameters coast to coast.

Re-selling donated cars

Re-sale is one of our options for Canadian car donations. Every vehicle is assessed on its own merit. If a car/truck/motorcycle is less than 10 years old and in good running condition we aim to sell it to the highest bidder. This happens via our regional agents.

That means that your donated vehicle will be assigned to an agent near you. This generates business in your part of Canada. Our experienced agents reach out to area buyers to let them know what they have available on their lots. They have their eyes on your prize and know how to price and sell. And we’ve partnered with them for a reason: they care about Canadian charities, too!

Recycling Canadian car donations

Many Canadian car donations are recycle-ready. A big impact on these donated cars? Salty roads. This is especially true in Ontario. Keeping Eastern drivers safe can mean that their chariots get rusted right out from underneath them.

For example, this means that a typical Mazda in Ontario isn’t likely to stay on the road for more than 10 years. This can mean an assignment to the recycle process. On the other hand, a rust-proofed and cared-for ride may bring in thousands of dollars through re-sale.

As with our re-sale process, agents individually assess recycle-ready vehicles. Our donations returns on these cars is dependent on what the current market dictates. This dollar outcome adjusts with the market.

Weather

Just as salt is an issue out East, mold is unique to the Maritimes and BC. If you live on either end of our great country, you know that moisture gets into our cars. There it takes on a life all its own! This is no problem for our recyclers. A free tow and a market-reflective dollar outcome are still available for you and your charity.

Collisions resulting from icy prairie roads can result in some dented metal. Wishing all drivers safe, we can easily process damaged vehicles on behalf of charity.

So, who are you again?

We are not Canada’s most visible car donation program. Here, you’ve found Donate a Car Canada.

We’ve had this conversation with donors many times over the years when donors wonder about our advertising efforts compared to other car donation programs.

One of the ways we keep our overhead (very!) low is by operating as an on-line entity. We rely on word-of-mouth and internet searching for our donations. This ensures that we’re not investing dollars into marketing that could be going directly to our thousands of receiving charities. So, if you’ve seen a TV ad, that’s not us!

How ever you have found us, your vehicle can contribute to the charity of your choice. If you’d like to learn more, jump to our Contact Us page. You’ll see our toll-free number there. Call us during business hours, MT, Monday to Friday! Just as easy? Send us your questions via email — we typically respond within a couple of hours (unless you’ve caught us in the middle of the night…we do need to take a nap from time-to-time). We’re looking forward to working alongside you on behalf of the cause you love!

Can I donate my RV to charity?

Here at Donate a Car Canada we evaluate each vehicle on its own merits. Motorhome/RV/boat donations are no different. With winter on its way, you might be preparing your holiday vehicle for storage. This coming spring you may start wondering about upgrading or selling our recreational vehicle. The answer to the question of donation becomes important.

The shortest answer we can offer:

Yes! If your RV is in a condition to be re-sold you can most certainly donate it for your Canadian charity of choice.

No, not if the vehicle is recycle-ready. We do not have any agents in Canada that will support end-of-the-road process for trailers, motorhomes, or boats.

Why would I donate my RV?

Recreational vehicle donation being contingent on re-sale means that it will be sold as-is to the highest bidder. This can happen either through auction, or via other re-sale agents. Because bids can be strong, donation outcomes really climb!

Consider these outcomes for charities across Canada:

The Scott Mission received a whopping $43,828.50 donation thanks to L.C.’s donated Coachman Leprechaun!

$2,737.93 was sent to Habitat for Humanity Okanagan thanks to B.R.’s Holiday Endeavor donation.

B.T. chose the Knowledge Network Corporation for his Majestic Motorhome donation, raising $5,914.30 for the charity!

And just a few years ago (this one bears bringing up even though it didn’t happen this calendar year), the True Patriot Love Foundation received a gift of $26,200.00 thanks to J.W.’s Jayco Motorhome donation!

Call to see if your RV is a Yes

Donate a Car Canada RV donations have raised thousands of dollars for humane societies, health-related groups, and children’s charities. These outcomes have ranged from $250.00 to close to $45,000.00!

If you’re not sure what status we’d assign your vehicle, call in to 1-877-250-4904. We’re here to help!

Here’s why we get a little picky

Why does an RV need to be driveable and in condition to be re-sold? We have auction houses and re-sale agents across Canada that can expose your holiday vehicle to their buyer bases. For a unit that’s ready to get out on the open highway (or water), bids can be a great benefit to your charity!

Why can we not accept it should the RV be ready for recycling? The reason our agents do not support this process is due to the construction of these units. Wood and fiberglass are costly to break down and cannot be recycled on site. Moreover, the lack of saleable metal and mechanical parts means there is little of reclaimable value in them at their end-of-life.

How the “Yes!” works

We do take auction-ready motorhomes/RVs/boats through the spring and summer. Wintertime is a no-go, so the months ahead are when you can start considering this option for next spring. We simply won’t find buyers for these unique units in the off season.

The best time to auction a motorhome is between the months of May and August. Most auction lots are open to the elements. Vehicles are subject to winter weather while trying to find a buyer during winter months, so our agents will always suggest you keep it in storage until spring.

Wait until spring in order to donate that sale-ready holiday vehicle. Your charity of choice will be the one to benefit!

In order to avoid high processing costs and potential losses we will ask that your RV be dropped off at our nearest drop-off location. Not possible? Check with us! Our agents work very hard to ensure rewarding donation experiences. They’re going to do all they can to help you out if a drop off isn’t possible for you.

But what about the free tow you promise?

This is another of the quirky answers to, “Can I donate my RV?” While we do offer free towing for almost all vehicles, some unique vehicles pose unique challenges for our agents and the costs of transport can eat up a  portion of the net proceeds. This affects what we’re able to send your  chosen charity. So, in the case of your holiday vehicle, we do check on the possibility of drop off first.

Is this the year you turn your unused/unwanted RV into a cash donation for your Canadian charity of choice? We are excited to serve you!

Click on the button below to complete a donation form. This will allow you to give us the details on your unique vehicle. We will quickly respond with direction regarding our ability to support your process. No time to do the online form? Give us a call, Monday – Friday, 9:00 – 5:00 MST, @ 1-877-250-4904. We’d love to help you and your charity of choice!

Nothing says it better than a multi-vehicle hospice donor

It is not unusual, having had a gratifying, efficient, and generous donation experience, for donors to come back again and again. One Alberta social services company is an example of the satisfaction of donating many vehicles over time.

When the support services entity originally found us, they had four (4!) company vehicles to donate. They gifted an entire fleet of five Dodge Caravans over a four month period!

Although it was a fleet, each minivan was assessed on its own merit. Some were re-sale ready; some needed to come off the road. Donations ranging from $500.00 to $716.12 were raised for each one!

With over 80,000 Canadian charities to choose from, the agency could have selected anyone to gift. Their charity of choice? Pilgrims Hospice Society was the grateful recipient.

But wait! They weren’t done giving, yet!

Not much later we found ourselves working on yet another grief support donation from this social services crew! Hospice Calgary Society will be receiving their proceeds from that minivan donation shortly.

Porsche Boxter earns $3,635.05 for donor’s hospice of choice!

G.S. is another generous multi-vehicle donor. She came to our program with Hill House Hospice top-of-heart. She topped her list of three cars with her Porsche Boxter. Humming along and ready for auction, this unique donation was a special gift, to be sure!

Second on her list was a 1990 Nissan gifted in honour of her late husband. It, too, was sale ready and earned another $1,318.35 for the charity.

Her third gift for HHH was a Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle! It rolled through auction for a $513.35 addition to G.S.’s caring contributions.

Supporting experts in grief companioning

While grief is common to us all, offering grief support is something special indeed. Death care and the depth of creativity, compassion, and good humour practiced by staff and volunteers in these spaces is laudable.

It is exciting to see vehicle donors committed to ensuring end-of-life care (for patients and families alike) across Canada.

Extending legacy, tending story: every car counts

We have the happy privilege of working alongside Canadian vehicle donors in countless personal circumstances. If you are considering donating a vehicle for hospice, we understand this may be because you have personal connection to the depth of loving care they provide.

It is our effort to extend that kind of support through this giving option. If you arrive to our program with a grief story (often folx are planning their own estate, or settling an estate for a loved one), you will be met with spacious compassion. You will also be met with efficiency and a simple process.

You will not be asked for unnecessary documentation.

There will be no press for details. You will not be required to tell a story you do not wish to tell…yet again.

There will, however, be clear instruction and communication. Things will move along as quickly (or as slowly) as you wish. And your gift will go exactly where you wish it to. We welcome your call (1-877-250-4904) or your online submission form. And we look forward to serving you in your generous effort to give back to your community!

The easy-peasy 1-2-3

There are just a few steps between your area hospice receiving your donation and the clearing of your driveway. First, fill in an online donation form. This will take less than 10 minutes. Then, wait for your tow agent to call and set up your free tow. Finally, watch your inbox. Your tax receipt will be at hand!

Thank you for your consideration of this giving option. It will be our joy to work alongside you in extending legacy in this unique way.
