Donate to the Foundation

Thank you for considering a donation to the New Car Dealers Foundation to support grants and scholarships enabling continuation of car careers.

Your support goes a long way in helping us provide grants ranging in value from $500 to $5,000. These grants are provided as tuition credit or go towards the purchase of new tools. Grant funding is made to the post-secondary school with restricted use for tuition, or to our approved tool supplier, Snap-On.

The automotive sector is a rapidly changing, highly technological industry offering lucrative careers close to home. The Foundation is playing a lead role in promoting these career opportunities for young people.

Donations can be made by cheque, payable to: New Car Dealers Foundation of BC. For donations by e-transfer, please email Shakira Maqbool or call 604-214-9964.

Donate to Auction for Athletes

Auction For Athletes

Supporters of the New Car Dealers Foundation and Special Olympics BC Auction for Athletes have hugely impacted the lives of athletes with intellectual disabilities and their communities throughout our province.

Your contributions – through generous auction donations and bids – have helped Special Olympics BC provide transformative sport, youth, and health programs in 55 communities across B.C. Through the power and joy of sport, people with intellectual disabilities of all ages and a wide range of abilities can showcase their abilities and open hearts and minds to inclusion.

Today, the Auction for Athletes matters more than ever. 

Special Olympics athletes find joy, confidence, and fulfilment – on the playing field and in life. They also inspire people in their communities and elsewhere to open their hearts to a wider world of human talents and potential.

Your donation to the 2025 Auction for Athletes will help people with intellectual disabilities discover new strengths and abilities, skills and success. Donate today.
