Toyota's third annual 100 Cars for Good philanthropy effort is underway. Non-profit organizations can apply to receive a free Toyota vehicle starting July 22 and the public will vote on which 100 organizations will get them! Applications must be received by Aug. 5.
The 100 Cars for Good campaign was started in 2011 and has helped organizations do everything from transporting disabled adults to helping victims of Superstorm Sandy.
"The 100 Cars for Good program elevates the positive impact nonprofits have on their communities," said Michael Rouse, vice president of diversity, philanthropy and community affairs for Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. "The program creates awareness by involving the public in the voting process, and the extra vehicle mobility helps to advance the goals of the selected organizations. This is a wonderful opportunity for Toyota to give back and demonstrate our commitment to communities across America."
Key dates and facts for the 2013 program:
- July 22 to Aug. 5 – Up to 2,500 applications will be accepted.
- Aug. 19 – The 250 finalists will be announced and will receive promotional materials to help raise awareness for their organizations during the voting period and in their work beyond.
