Every ride, every workshop, and every young person we reach depends on people who give. Pick whichever fits you — 100% of your gift goes to the mission.
A tax-deductible gift of any size funds rides, workshops, and the young people we teach. Our donation platform charges us no fees, so 100% of what you give goes straight to the mission.
Become a sustaining supporter. A recurring monthly gift gives us steady, predictable funding to plan more ride days and workshops. You can set this up on the same secure form.
A classic car can support Joyride in ways a check can't — and it can be good for you and the car, too. Because we use donated cars in our programs, you may be able to deduct the vehicle's appraised fair-market value.
Giving appreciated stock or recommending a grant from your donor-advised fund can be a tax-smart way to support the mission. Email info@joyride-foundation.org and we'll help with the details.
We're recognizing the early supporters who help us build. If you'd like to make a leadership gift and be part of Joyride's founding circle, we'd love to talk — reach us at info@joyride-foundation.org.

A classic car can support Joyride in ways a check can't — and it can be good for you and the car, too. This isn't a one-click gift; it takes a conversation, and often an appraisal and some paperwork. But for the right car and the right owner, it's one of the most meaningful ways to give.
Give your classic to Joyride and put it to work in our rides and hands-on classes. Because we use the cars in our programs, you may be able to deduct the vehicle's appraised fair-market value.
Leave your classic to Joyride through your estate, or start the conversation now about a lifetime gift — a way to know your car will be cared for and keep giving.
In some cases we can store and maintain a donated car and keep it active in our programs. If you'd like to stay connected to a car you love, let's explore what's possible.
Classic-car values move with taste and time, and some cars are worth less each year as a new generation looks elsewhere. Donating a car you no longer drive lets it keep giving — and can turn a depreciating asset into a deduction at today's appraised value.
For a vehicle valued over $5,000, the IRS requires a qualified independent appraisal (filed with Form 8283). We can point you to qualified appraisers.
When a charity actually uses a donated vehicle in its work — as we do, in rides and education — donors are generally able to claim the car's fair-market value rather than only what it would fetch at auction.
We provide the written acknowledgment you need for your records (including IRS Form 1098-C where it applies) and coordinate the details with you.
Your gift funds classic-car rides for those in need, hands-on mentorship for young people, and the preservation of automotive heritage. Every dollar goes to work in the community.
The Joyride Foundation is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation and a registered 501(c)(3) public charity. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
