One Non-Profit Helping Another
The arc Thrift Stores, Lakewood,CO., a Colorado 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, serves as the fundraising arm of the ARC Units, which provide advocacy and support for children and adults with developmental disabilities. arc Thrift Stores has historically accepted vehicle donations since 1995 for themselves and several other non profits.
Demand grew and in 2001, Vehicles for Charity (VFC) was established. This comprehensive vehicle donation program was developed and implemented to provide for prompt and professional disposition of vehicles donated to VFC.
Our working agreements with carefully selected tow companies and auto auctions have contributed to the programs success.

Based on the success of the program, VFC has entered into partnerships with other nonprofit organizations to assist them in their fundraising efforts. Aside from promoting the program directly to its affiliates constituents, VFC handles all details of the vehicle donation process.
The program is unusual in that all proceeds are returned to nonprofit organizations. One nonprofit organization helping another to generate much need funding has been the cornerstone of the affiliate program since its inception.
Vehicles for Charity accepts automobiles, trucks, vans, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, dirt bikes, tractors, boats and trailers. Some vehicles are not accurately represented however, and will not sell at an auction.
Those vehicles are delivered to an auto recycler or salvage company, either of which pays a set amount for the vehicle regardless of condition.
Ongoing promotion of the program has proven to be a key to its success. Through its website www.vehiclesforcharity.org, VFC provides a listing of all affiliates and links to their specific websites. In addition, each affiliate is strongly encouraged to actively promote and publicize the program to its constituents.
