The Vendacar Foundation is our independent 501(c)(3) charitable arm. We fund programs that make reliable transportation accessible to working families, train the next generation of automotive technicians, and put vehicles into the hands of disaster survivors.
Reliable transportation is the single strongest predictor of a working family staying employed. The Foundation partners with United Way chapters and workforce-development nonprofits to fund vehicle-purchase grants for low-income workers in transit-deserts.
We fund full-tuition scholarships for ASE-accredited technician programs at community colleges and vocational schools. To date the Foundation has supported 240+ technicians-in-training across 32 states.
After hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires, transportation is often the first thing people lose. We coordinate with our dealer network to place donated and discounted vehicles with affected families through partner relief organizations.
