The Car in Your Driveway Could Fund a Public School

How turning your idle vehicle into cash can fund public high school programs - from science labs to arts and athletics

Every year, millions of cars, trucks, and SUVs sit idle in driveways and garages across America, slowly losing value. At the same time, public high schools across the U.S. face ongoing funding gaps for academics, arts programs, athletics, and student enrichment.

Cars for Classrooms changes that. Our nationwide vehicle donation program turns unused cars into direct financial support for any public high school in the United States. It’s simple, free, and could even lower your tax bill.

How It Works

  1. Choose Your School – Select a public high school from our list or write in your own.

  2. Tell Us About Your Vehicle – Provide basic details about your car, truck, SUV, or other vehicle.

  3. We Handle Everything – We arrange free towing, complete all paperwork, and auction your vehicle.

  4. Funds Go Directly to Your School – Net proceeds are sent to the school you selected.

Why This Program Stands Out

No-Hassle Giving

We accept vehicles in any condition and manage towing, auction, and paperwork for you. Yes, even that 1978 VW that's under 6 inches of dust, and even that brand new Ferrari that you decided you no longer need.

Give Without Spending

Your gift comes from your driveway, not your wallet.

Tax-Smart Generosity

Vehicle donations may qualify for a charitable tax deduction.

A Bigger Impact Than You Think

Even a single donated car can provide thousands of dollars to help fund programs for students.

You Choose the School

The only program in the country that lets you pick the school that your car benefits.

Why Schools Should Share This Opportunity

When public high schools promote vehicle donation to alumni and the community, the results multiply quickly. Every unused vehicle represents a real chance to fund new opportunities, from science labs to band uniforms to athletic equipment.

Your Next Step

If you or someone you know has a car, truck, SUV, or boat sitting unused, don’t let it keep collecting dust. Put it to work creating opportunities for students.
