Donated Hyundai models raise thousands of dollars for charity

Just a few minutes ago I had the happy experience of engaging a Hyundai Tucson donor. Her trusty and beloved ol’ girl is ready to come off the road. The donor is having a hard time letting her go, but she’s excited to be donating to her charity of choice. In this case, she’s giving to a human rights organization.

We’re working on a Santa Fe donation for a hospital foundation, too. An Accent donation is going to Ronald McDonald House Charities this month end. The Canadian Red Cross will see the proceeds from a Sonata donation drive on up shortly, and an Elantra will benefit the ALS Society.

Every car counts!

Re-sale ready vehicles are a boon for charities coast to coast. Whenever possible, our cooperating agents re-sell donated vehicles to the highest bidder. Vehicles are sold as-is (no repairs are done on the vehicles prior to sale).

If your Hyundai is rusted out and ready for crushing, no problem! We’ll process your vehicle for recycling.

Either way, the net proceeds can go to ANY Canadian charity. You can simply choose one from our drop down list on your donation form. ‘Still not sure about who to gift? Pop over to CanadaHelps!

Remember: the tow is always free!

Does the charity get the Hyundai? Or just the money from the sale?

Donate a Car Canada facilitates the sale of all donated vehicles. As mentioned, this is done by either recycling or re-selling the cars, trucks, vans, and motorcycles. Boats and RVs are occasionally processed through auction as well! The net proceeds from those sales are sent right off to each donor’s chosen charity.

For the charity to manage this process for themselves would be costly and cumbersome. From paperwork to towing to processing, a LOT goes into managing a donated vehicle. We take care of all of the details so the charity can just keep doing what it already does best: fulfilling its mission within your community, your world. CanadaHelps has a part in this, too. In addition to tending the possibility of donation to Canada’s thousands of charities, they also facilitate the tax receipt process for donated vehicles. Yet another effort spared your charity of choice!

Ready to donate? It’s simple, quick, and free. And hoping for exceptional customer care from real, live humans? You’ll receive 5 star treatment here. All day. Every day.

We’re ready to see your donation form! Need more information? Call us at 1-877-250-4904, Monday – Friday. Hyundai (or Honda…Ford…Dodge…Tesla…) ready to roll? We’ve got you covered!

Yes I’m being a bit cheeky, but for many of us our animals are our family. One thing that is very apparent for us at Donate A Car Canada, is that Canadians love their pets. It is unconscionable and sad when we discover a pet has been mistreated, lost, or left for dead. They are at our mercy, and when we’ve chosen to care for them it is unthinkable that we’d shirk responsibility to the point of neglect or abuse.

Pooches putting on the miles

One of our donors recently submitted her Hyundai in memory of her beloved pups, Bear and Ralphie. What struck us about her donation and her story, is the understanding that so many treasured memories are created while we are driving our vehicles from here to there. We sometimes don’t value those moments at the time. But we wake up to the beauty of making those memories in due time:

“That car never really belonged to me – it belonged to my dogs. Thank you for your services and helping me make a donation to the Nova Scotia SPCA! It made saying goodbye to it just a little easier. I left a note in the back seat (the above photo) and I’m attaching a copy for you.” ~ Lisa from Nova Scotia

Supporting the orgs that protect our pets

Our charities listing includes many organizations across the nation that provide care and nurturing for animals in distress. We encourage you to look through the choices to see if there are any that peak your interest. ‘Spot one you love? Consider donating your vehicle to their great cause!

Have you had a similar experience to Lisa? Perhaps you are looking for a meaningful way to honor your beloved furry family member! Donate your unwanted vehicle on behalf of our one of our hard-working animal charities!

Oh, the difference one little Elantra can make!

Who is on the block for Elantra donations as I write this up? Heart and Stroke Foundation, Ontario SPCA and Humane Society, Ronald McDonald House Charities South Central Ontario, Team Cat Rescue, and Valour Place Society!

Five Hyundai donors, five charities-of-choice. This is the beautiful giving impact of Canadian donors! And it is the heartwork of Donate a Car Canada.

One of the everyday joys of working at Donate a Car Canada is the scope of the charities we serve. There is a charity for every cause you can imagine! ‘Love donkeys? There’s a charity for that. Are you all about hand bells? We ring it in for that cause, too. Community, cancer, kids, and critters: your car donation can go to any charity you love!

How much can your Hyundai earn for your cause?

Every donated car (Elantra, or otherwise) is assessed, as-is, case-by-case. We and our charities have been at this for over two decadea. We roll with current markets: when scrap metal is valued strongly, it’s a big win for charity!

Have you noticed the strength of the re-sale market for cars right now? It is a Goodness for your charity. When we recycle a car, truck, van, or SUV the donation outcome varies. This is most strongly affected by your location. In many provinces we are currently seeing donation outcomes for around $300.00 – $500.00 on scrap cars! This is big shift from the metal crash a few years ago when the same cars were worth less than $100.00. We are loving 2022!

However, not all donated vehicles are ready for recycling. Whenever we can, we assign your donated car to re-sale. This happens through auction and re-sale agents across the country. They put donated vehicles up for sale as-is, to the highest bidder. ‘Highest bid takes the car. Your charity? They receive the net proceeds.

One of this week’s five Elantra donors will have a $5,000.00+ donation issued in their name!

How easy is this process?

Donating your vehicle is really just so easy! Fill in our online form (you’re one click away). Wait for a call from your supporting tow agent (the tow is always free!). Watch for your tax receipt.

We take care of every detail along the way. You will receive emails outlining important information so that you have a robust paper trail for your donation, should you wish it.

You can choose any charity in Canada! Your charity of choice will never be charged any fees. There is no extra work for them. Their role in all of this? To keep doing the caring, building, researching, nurturing work that is their mission. And then to accept the monetary-gift outcome of your donated car, of course. We are here to serve them by serving you!

Ready to roll your unused or unwanted vehicle in the direction for the cause you love? You’re a few minutes away from joining this week’s five Elantra donors in doing so much good!
