Giving Tuesday brings us together

“GivingTuesday is a global movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.” How will you get involved on December 2, 2025?

So many ways to participate this December

Look no further for ways to share this Giving Tuesday! Donate a Car Canada processes donations for any Canadian charity! Each one will offer ways that you can help. Just as you. Where you are. Today!

Many of us are not in a position to give financially. No problem! The smallest acts of kindness bring meaningful relief. Your innate Goodness? It matters! Share it in the way that you are best able. A written note, or a pot of soup. An offer of childcare, or pet sitting. A simple, authentic smile.

‘Have your feet under you and feeling some financial freedom? Canadian charities will put your dollars and cents to excellent work. Caring, skilled men, women, and children are manning the wheel at our charities. What they need more than anything? The finances to keep things in motion. Your financial offering can make such a difference.

On the other hand, some charities will accept gifts-in-kind — that lightly used couch, coat, or pair of shoes will help!

Get Intentional

Give where you feel the love! CanadaHelps is a fabulous resource in selecting charities to support.

The cause that has most-helped you or your loved ones may be just the place to start this Giving Tuesday. If vulnerable pets or our remarkable Canadian wildlife tug at your heartstrings, give them a paw (or talon…or fin) up!

In giving creatively, you might even think about the impact your gift has on more than one level. Giving your lightly used household items, or a vehicle, means practical help to the recipient. That kind of giving does more! It reduces waste and is helpful environmentally. It clears your own space (possibly aiding in your own wellbeing). The benefits touch into your life, the life (lives) of your recipient, and the broader world.

Your Giving Tuesday

We’d love to see you this Giving Tuesday! Pick your charity and do up our quick donation form (it takes less than 10 minutes to fill out). Your charity not on our list? No problem! Just let us know and we’ll direct your gift to the cause you love! We’ll have you set up with your free tow and on your way to a tax receipt in short order!

That free tow will be managed efficiently, and with care. Typically, donated vehicles are picked up within 1 – 3 business days. You’ll be called in advance to ensure timing that suits you well.

The gift on top of the gift in all of this? Just as there is no cost to you, there is no cost to your charity of choice. We are here to ensure this full process is managed on behalf of yourself and your charity so that you can all keep doing what you need to do!

In anticipation of making a big difference together…

Turning that summer vacation ride into riches for charity

Have you ever wondered what happens to your summer vacation shuttle bus once its driven its last carriage full of tourists through the Rockies? One BC company makes it a habit of extending the legacy of those trusty vehicles.

The company owner first came to Donate a Car Canada in 2022. His 2010 Ford E450 Bus had been rendered immovable thanks to a stolen catalytic converter. $500.00 was raised for the Regional Animal Protection Society.

Then, in 2023, he donated a scrap-ready 2014 Ford E450 shuttle bus. It too had, you guessed it, a stolen catalytic converter. RAPS received $275.00 dollars to help the critters.

Most recently, this same donor rolled back in with a double donation in January! You read that right: two shuttle vehicles in one month. The happy news? These ones weren’t quite ready to come off the road. Auction-ready and fully of potential, his 2015 Ford E-450 was sold for a donation of $2866.15 for the BC SPCA! It’s parking lot pal, a 2011 Mercedes Benz Sprinter, went for a $1109.02 donation for the same charity!

Summer is more than just slushies and sunshine

The example set by this summer vacation shuttle owner is inspiring! Every vehicle counts — junker and jewel alike. Ask the care teams at RAPS and the BC SPCA: big donation, or small, when it comes to helping vulnerable animals, every gift matters.

This summer, if you find yourself tired of sweeping around that old Taurus, donate it!

Mowing the lawn for the sixth time and annoyed by that unused Honda in the driveway? Donate it!

This summer vacation, turn your imagination toward creative ways of giving back to the charity you love. And if that includes donating an unwanted car, van, SUV, truck, or motorcycle, we’re your crew! We’ll keep the process simple, quick, and free — for donor and charity alike!

We’re a click or a call away!

Humane Society Car donation helps the helpers

If you’ve every considered humane society car donation, now is the time!

Your local SPCA, animal shelter, or humane society can accept your unused/unwanted vehicle as a donation! It’s easy, quick, and free — for you, and the charity you love!

Local chapters are good to go!

Have you had a chance to take a look at our partnering charities? You won’t believe how many are animal rescues and shelters! ‘Don’t see your local SPCA on our list? No problem. Within minutes we can have your humane society car donation designated for them. Not only that, your gift could be the car that gets them on our partner list for others to choose from, too!

Something we know about Canada’s shelters and rescues: they will stretch your donation dollar to the MAX! Every critter counts. Every dollar counts. And every car counts. If helping vulnerable animals is your thing, this is another way to do it!

Big or small, your car will help our furry, feathered friends

Donate a Car Canada is working from coast to coast — in every province! We work for your charity to process any car, truck, van, SUV, or motorcycle for donation. It can be a junker. Running and in pristine condition? We have caring and capable auction houses working for us in many major centres. Perhaps you are considering donating something that lands somewhere between a scrapper and a 5 star car? We can work with that, too!

When a vehicle is donated that has re-sale value, but isn’t the best candidate for auction, our local re-sale agents will put it up for bids to their own area buyers. The effort is always to see the highest return possible for your charity — and for your tax receipt, or course!

The donation process is just so easy! You are minutes away from exceptional donor service and a free tow. Your charity choice? Choose any Canadian charity to receive your gift!

Not quite ready to donate? Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter! There you will get an overall feel for how we care for each other and our charities. This is a caring community, here to serve you.

One click and we will be at your service…
