How partnership works
- Introduce your organization using the form above.
- We talk about your community's needs and what you can offer.
- We agree on a simple plan, for example a referral process, repair pricing or a sponsorship.
- We share results so you can see the families your partnership helps.
For referral partners
Caseworkers and advocates can refer clients through our application and mention the referring agency. Referrals help programs trust that a family is ready for a car, and many car programs require them.

We never charge families fees, we protect client privacy, and we follow our editorial policy so the information your clients read is accurate and up to date.
