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!

Webb telescope images sparkle

Have you seen the first images coming in from the Webb telescope? If that’s not a shot-in-the-arm of good news, what is? This beautiful testament to human effort and smarts is a welcome break from wobbly news. We love a little reveling in wonder and data and pushing the boundaries!

Big leaps like this come from many small efforts

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!

Of course, none of those are directly related to space exploration! While they reach for great heights in their own ways, their hooves, paws, and sneakers area planted firmly on this planet.

‘Sights set a little further out? Where do you give? How can you impact future thinkers and creatives and explorers with something as earthbound as a car donation?

Gettin’ smart

Wonder. Curiosity. Imagination. Your car, van, SUV, or motorcycle donation may lead to the lightbulb moment that will one day morph into something as grand as space exploration!

Did you know you can donate your car to an education-focused charity?

Consider two that are already on our list:

If you’d like to see a new charity added to our list, you can even select an un-partnered charity like,

Telus Spark (Calgary)

Telus World of Science (Edmonton)

Space Place Planetarium Canada (Toronto)

Space For Life Foundation (Quebec)

Every car helps your charity reach for the stars

We, working on behalf your charity of choice, will arrange to have the vehicle recycled or re-sold.

When your car is selected for our recycle process, the donation can be up to $500.00 in some parts of Canada. This is determined by the area in which it is donated, and what the market will pay for the year/make/model. The tow is always free!

Your vehicle may be considered for sale at auction, or re-sold by another resale agent. Several things go into qualifying a vehicle for re-sale. These include drivability, type of mechanical problems (if any), age, damage, visual appearance, and mileage. These vehicles are sold to the highest bidder, as a full and final sale. The outcome is determined by what buyers bid.
