• The Old Way: Most car donation programs sell 100% of the vehicles they receive. They outsource to for-profit middlemen who take the cars to auction, while you’re left with a generic tax write-off. The car is removed from our community and ends up on a used car lot, which does not solve any mobility issues.
• Our Way: At Momentum Garage, we flip the script. Our mission? Donated cars go directly to our local neighbors in need — unlocking access to jobs, healthcare, and local connections. Our cars, our roads, our community.
• Real Impact: Each car powers a family forward, turning wheels into opportunities. Meanwhile, donors score a healthy tax deduction — more bang for your generosity as you pass your keys to a neighbor in need.
• Community Boost: We team up with local shops, suppliers, and locally owned businesses, keeping the economic engine humming right here at home. We are passionate about our local community!
• Triple Win: Donate to Momentum Garage, and it’s a slam dunk: You win with tax savings, your neighbors win with life-changing mobility, and our community wins with stronger ties and local growth.
• Full Circle: We partner with local churches and community organizations to identify individuals in need, relying on their trusted vetting to ensure fairness and impact.
Our ideal recipients are employed, have a permanent place of residence, and currently drive an insured vehicle, demonstrating their ability to maintain and insure our donated cars. Together, we empower our community with the gift of mobility.
If you represent a local church or community organization with clients in need of reliable transportation, please contact us. When we have vehicles available in our inventory, we’re eager to partner with you to make a difference.
If you’re an individual or family facing transportation challenges, please connect with a local church, community center, or nonprofit organization, such as your local parish, United Way, or community action agency, to request a referral to our program.
