Supporting Canadian wildlife through Subaru donations

Woodlands Wildlife Sanctuary is signed up! A generous Subaru Outback donor connected to donate their vehicle and named the refuge as their charity of choice. How exactly does this work?

Are you considering vehicle donation? Did you know that you can donate your van, truck, car, SUV, or motorcycle for ANY Canadian charity?

Your first stop is our online donation form. This will take you less than 10 minutes to complete. ‘Trouble with the form? Give us a call at 1-877-250-4904. We have lovely, funny, efficient humans happy to take your call.

Then, sit back and wait for our agent to give you a buzz to set up your free tow (Yup! Free!). After that? Just watch your in box for your tax receipt.

When you filling in your form you’ll find our list of charities. It is a long, long list! One recent donor jokingly said, “This process was all so easy…except scrolling all the way down to the “W’s” to find my chosen charity!”

How did charities get on that list?

Donor’s like our recent Subaru saint requested that the charity they love be added to the list. If your beloved local, regional, or national work is not already on our list you’ll be able to request that we get ‘er done. And we will!

What is the donation value of a Subaru?

The first “value” of every vehicle donation is the experience itself. You can expect exceptional donor support and the thrill of knowing you’ve made a difference for the cause you care about.

The Outback donor we mention above wrote in to say, “‘Application online was very fast and easy with a well designed online application. Response after application was prompt and informative. Tow service was prompt, friendly and efficient. They went above and beyond as I accidently locked all of the keys in the car as I prepared it for pickup. The driver came to the location of the car and patiently gained access then drove the car back to his shop with dealer plates. I found him very friendly, skilled and patient. A totally positive experience!“

But what about actual dollars and cents!?

An excellent experience is one thing. Making a cash-in-hand difference for the charity is next level! In the instance above, the Subaru was recycle ready and raised a donation of several hundred dollars for the WWS.

Salvage or scrap ready, every Impreza, Outback, Legacy, Forester, or Tribeca counts! Thousands of donation dollars are raised for charities like yours through these donations every year. Just a few of those charities in the last couple of months:

Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation

The Ottawa Mission

Hope for Wildlife Society

MS Canada

Toronto Cat Rescue

and G.R.I.S. – Montreal

We could keep this list growing, but there’s more to learn!

What if my car is in great condition and not ready for the scrap yard?

Whenever possible, our agents work diligently and capably to re-sell donated vehicles. This can be done through auction where vehicles are sold as-is to the highest bidder. Or, an agent might shop the Subaru (or any other amazing make) around to their substantial base of interested vehicle buyers.

Where a recycle-ready vehicle can bring in hundreds of dollars, a re-sale ready vehicle can bring in several thousand. Here is an example or two:

$1,232.25 was raised for the HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre! Thanks for donating your XVC, K.M.!

A ’92 SVX sold for $1,000.00. The donor’s chosen charity? BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund.

$1,185.87 went to the Parkinson Association of Alberta thanks to J.R.’s Impreza donation!

Ready to roll with your own make-a-difference donation?

As we speak, we’re working on seventeen (17!) Subaru donations. Just this month alone! Whatever the make, model, mileage, and muster of your unused/unwanted vehicle, we’ll make it count for the cause you care about. We’re ready to put the pedal to the metal for you and your charity today!
