Cartober has come to an end, and we’re filled with gratitude for everyone who donated their vehicles to support nonprofits across the country. And guess what? The impact doesn’t have to stop here. Just because Cartober is over doesn’t mean your generosity has to be.

Here are a few ways you can stay connected and continue supporting your favorite causes all year long:

1. Remember: Vehicle Donations Are Year-Round

Cartober may highlight the power of vehicle donations in October, but you can donate a car, truck, boat, motorcycle, or even an RV any time of year. It’s one of the easiest ways to make a difference—and the pick-up is free!

Whenever you’re ready to part ways with your vehicle, just visit the Choose A Nonprofit page to select an organization and start your donation.

2. Volunteer Your Time

Many nonprofits rely on volunteers to carry out their mission. Whether it’s delivering meals, mentoring youth, helping at events, or supporting admin work, your time and talents can have a meaningful impact.

3. Attend Events

Keep an eye out for local fundraisers, community events, or educational workshops hosted by your favorite nonprofits. Attending events is a great way to learn more about the cause, connect with others, and show your support in person.

4. Give in Other Ways

Not ready to donate a vehicle? Consider these other powerful forms of giving:

  • Make a one-time or recurring cash donation
  • Donate goods like clothes, books, or supplies
  • Sign up for a nonprofit’s round-up program to automatically donate spare change from your everyday purchases.
  • Give appreciated assets such as real estate, or stocks

Many of these options offer tax benefits and provide critical funding for nonprofit missions.

5. Spread the Word

Your voice matters. Share how you support nonprofits with friends and family—on social media, at family gatherings, or even in casual conversations. Whether it’s telling someone about your vehicle donation experience or inviting them to volunteer with you, your story could inspire others to give back.
