Camry donors fill charity piggy banks one car at a time

‘Considering vehicle donation? These Camry donation outcomes might inspire you to punch the gas on your decision!

In the first few months of this year we’ve excitedly disbursed $618.55 to the Farley Foundation. A loving daughter facilitated the process on behalf of her father. $985.80 went to Autism Ontario, and $6,324.00 to Parkinson Canada! Re-sale ready vehicles earn big for every donor’s charity of choice.

Has your Toyota given you all it has to give? Whenever we are unable to re-sale a donated vehicle, it is recycled. Every year, hundreds of vehicles are scrapped for charity. Here are just a few organizations that have benefitted from scrapping a Camry in the past couple of months: The Scott Mission, Abbey Cat Adoptions, The Heart & Stroke Foundation, and the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation! Each of these charities has received several hundred dollars in donations, and the Toyota donors have all received a tax receipt.

More Toyotas driving change

And wait! There’s more! Here are just a few more re-sale outcomes to celebrate:

$2731.40 raised for RMHC South Central Ontario

$7524.00 sent to Parkinson Canada

$821.50 disbursed to Parachutes for Pets

It just doesn’t get any more rewarding than this! Every Toyota counts! Actually, every vehicle counts — truck, car, van, SUV, and motorcycle. Sometimes we can even process and RV or a boat for your beloved charity!

Just tickled by Toyota donor feedback

One Toyota donor for the BC SPCA trilled that they were,

“Thrilled to share my experience…

Extremely fast and easy! It was so simple and way quicker than I ever expected.

Donate a Car Staff were very helpful and friendly! I got an email back with all of the information I could possibly need super quickly after I submitted my form.

My towing agent was lovely. The call to set everything up was very timely and he very kindly explained the process to me and was patient with all of my questions!

“Sad little car” makes for grateful and happy charity

I was beyond happy with the tow service! The morning of pickup I needed to provide a little extra
information and the driver went above and beyond to accommodate me and kindly took the extra time to buzz into my building and hide my plates as I was not home and sent me a picture of my sad little car all loaded up!

I really can’t say enough good things about this process and how simple everything was made for me, and I appreciate everything you all did each step of the way!
I would go this route in future for sure and will highly recommend it to others.

Thank you so so so much!!”

Camry donors keep the engine running

As I finish up this week’s post, we’re wrapping up a $600.00 Camry gift for The Ottawa Mission. SPCA Saskatoon will benefit from a rusty and salvage-ready Camry with a recycle donation outcome. Diabetes Canada and YFC London both have similar gift amounts coming to them at month end, as will a hospital foundation in BC.

This way of giving is simple and quick. Furthermore, it’s free! Free for you; free for your charity of choice.

The first step in donating is to fill in an online donation form. This will take just a few minutes. It will be helpful to have your VIN handy when you sit down to do it. ‘Not one for computers? No problem! Give us a call at 1-877-250-4904! We’re happy to take your information over the phone.

Then, watch your inbox for some email direction about next steps (including who you can expect to call to arrange your free tow).

Finally, sit back and wait for your tax receipt.

It really is that easy. And every car really does make such a difference for the charity you care about!

Ronald McDonald House Charities keeps families together

Imagine learning that your child is ill and you will need to travel to a different city to receive the medical care they need. In the midst of your worst nightmare as a parent, you must now also leave your home, your job and your support system. This is the reality for more than 70 per cent of Canadian families with seriously ill or injured children.

Your car, truck, van, and SUV donations make care for these families possible! Since first partnering together in 2015, Donate a Car Canada has facilitated the donation of hundreds of vehicles for Ronald McDonald House services in almost every province.

Donors from High Prairie, Crossfield, Sundre, Canmore, and beyond have gifted recycle-ready, and auctionable cars. One Rocky Mountain House donor donated 6 vehicles at one time!

That’s in Alberta alone! Ontario blows the wheels off with more yearly vehicle donors than any other province!

Many donated vehicles are recycle-ready. These cars, trucks, motorcycles and holiday vehicles are priced based on an ever-fluctuating metal market. From time-to-time, a donor will give a donation that has re-sale potential. These vehicles are sold as-is to the highest bidder.

For example, one Yaris donated from Bragg Creek drew a donation of $989.30 to RMHC!

Company vans. Trusty old Hondas. The net proceeds from the sale of each vehicle is sent to the charity at the end of the month. Moreover, no fees are ever charged to the charity. You will receive a tax receipt that reflects the amount that your chapter Ronald McDonald House receives from your vehicle donation.

How you can work with Ronald McDonald House

A few important stats from the Canadian RMHC site:

Keep over 26,000 families together

In an average year, 16 Ronald McDonald Houses and 18 Ronald McDonald Family Rooms serve more than 26,000 families

Give to your regional Ronald McDonald House in other ways (not everyone has a donation-ready car sitting in the drive way!). Ask them about their wish lists.  They may be looking for things like baking supplies, toiletries, recreation and craft materials. Furthermore, they appreciate pick-me-up gifts for their families.

Donated items help keep costs low. This ensures they can continue providing a home away from home for hundreds of families each year.

Of course, if you do have a car, truck, van, SUV, motorcycle, or some other unique 4-wheeled wonder to share, connect with us! We take care of all of your donation particulars, ensuring your gift gets into the hands of the cause you care about.

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!
