One Tesla Model X, one wish to help, and a charity of choice

It’s safe to say that our call staffer was not prepared for the jaw-dropping query coming their way. I mean, we never know what to expect when a prospective donor calls in. It may be a query about a trusty ol’ Honda, or a motorcycle that’s been parked for two years. “There’s a family of mice living in the engine compartment of my rusted out Dodge — can I still donate?” is not outside of the realm of possibility!

But a call in about a Tesla? That is something none of our little crew here at Donate a Car Canada expected on a toasty afternoon late in August!

You can bet we didn’t take that call lightly. Every car, truck, van, SUV, and motorcycle donation is special. Each donated vehicle means needed support for the donor’s chosen charity. And some, like this Model X, need us to be alert, attentive, and on point!

Our donor support person took the call and was careful to answer every question. They provided detailed guidance regarding our process. Next, of course, they got curious about who was to receive the donation proceeds!

How does a Tesla Model X translate into charity dollars?

Every donated vehicle is considered for re-sale first. We have clear (and long-learned) parameters for this decision. Is the car drivable? Does it have any collision damage? Rust? Are there actually mice living in the engine compartment?

If a unit comes to us in running condition with modest mileage we want to ensure it finds a new owner! Our agents across Canada know their stuff. Auctions and re-sale agents alike will promote and pitch our donated vehicles to regional buyers. They know their buyer bases well.

Donated vehicles are sold as-is to the highest bidder. In the case of this fabulous Model X? Buyers saw the value as soon as it rolled across the floor. The proof is in the bids and the final dollar outcome for the charity!

Wheels on the ground for children’s hospitals

Any registered charity in Canada is able to receive your vehicle donation. Your local children’s hospital foundation is absolutely included in that care! For our summertime Tesla donor the choice was clear: he designated his gift to the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. There, “Small is Mighty!” Thanks to this generation donation, more children, staff, and families will be supported as the hospital “helps little fight big.”

Your car will make a difference, too! Do you have a car sitting unused in the driveway? It can be running, or a scrapper. If it has some life left in it, we will do our utmost to re-sell it on behalf of yourself (that tax receipt sure does come in handy!) and the cause you love!

We are a click or a call away! Hit the big red button below to go to our donation form. This will take you less than 10 minutes to fill out. Once we have it on our side we will immediately get things rolling for your free tow.

Or, call in to 1-877-250-4904. We are delighted to assist — in person! You will connect with a live donor support staff who can answer any curiosities you may still have. They can also complete your donation form for you.

We appreciate the extraordinary gift of a unique donation like the Tesla Model X! Our charities may not see anything quite like that for awhile. And we value and tend every vehicle donation that comes through with the same respect. Whether donating a $500.00 rusty-trusty ol’ car, or a shiny gem, we are here to serve you and your charity today!

Donate a vehicle for your hospital foundation

2021 brought in some sturdy gifts for children’s hospitals, in particular. In fact, we even had a sailboat donation that brought in over $5,000.00 for the BC Children’s Hospital!

An ’05 Audi landed The Montreal Children’s Hospital a gift of over $2,000.00. A Honda Pilot that we thought might be recycle-ready sold for over $2,700.00 for the Stollery! Furthermore, Jim Pattison’s CHF, a Saskatchewan charity, was the pick of donors across all Western provinces.

Donating to your local hospital in this way is easy. A form takes less than 10 minutes to fill out. We can also take your information over the phone during business hours.

We are heart-and-soul a Canadian company. Moreover, you can choose any Canadian charity to accept your gift.

Donate a Car Canada’s does all of the leg work and accounting for your hospital. Our cheerful agents will either recycle or re-sell your vehicle. Then, your charity will receive the net proceeds of the sale!

How much really goes to my local foundation?

Not only that, your hospital charity of choice does not pay for this giving option. When you donate a car, all of the work is done for your foundation. They simply wait for the eTransfer to arrive at the end of each month!

Every car, truck, van, SUV, and motorcycle is reviewed on its own merits. There are fees involved on the processing end, of course. Our tow guys need to put gas in the tow truck tank. They also need to keep their shops heated. We do need to keep our own home offices humming, too. We’ve been a work from home company since we opened up over 10 years ago (long before it became a COVID necessity). This has always been a cost-saver. This family-owned co. knows how to stretch pennies. Charities receive every dollar possible from every donation!

What are my hospital foundation choices?

We are able to serve any Canadian charitable health/hospital foundation. Here are some of the charities to pick from:
