TRA Vehicle Donation

Support the enduring legacy of Theodore Roosevelt by donating your vehicle through the Theodore Roosevelt Association’s partnership with CARS (Charitable Adult Rides and Services).

Your vehicle donation funds vital TRA programs—including Youth Leadership, Historical Scholarships, Navy and Police Awards, Teddy Bears for Kids, and more—while also honoring Theodore Roosevelt’s groundbreaking conservation legacy, which preserved millions of acres of America’s natural beauty for future generations.

Theodore Roosevelt, often called the “conservationist president,” famously protected approximately 230 million acres of public lands, establishing national parks, forests, and wildlife refuges. By donating your vehicle, you contribute to sustaining TRA’s mission to promote stewardship of our environment and community, reflecting TR’s commitment to conserving natural resources while fostering leadership and service.

How It Works:

  • Donating your vehicle is simple and free through CARS, which handles pick-up, towing, and sale.
  • Proceeds go directly to support TRA’s educational, leadership, conservation, and community service initiatives.
  • Most vehicles are accepted, running or not, including cars, trucks, boats, and motorcycles.
  • Nationwide free pick-up is available, making giving easy and convenient.

What You Need to Do:

  1. Visit the TRA vehicle donation page or the CARS secure online form.
  2. Provide your vehicle details and designate the Theodore Roosevelt Association as the charity.
  3. Schedule your free vehicle pick-up.
  4. Have your vehicle title ready; the tow driver will help with necessary paperwork during pick-up.
  5. Receive your tax receipt after the vehicle is sold.
By donating your vehicle, you not only support TRA’s diverse programs but also honor Theodore Roosevelt’s lifelong dedication to conserving America’s natural heritage. Join us in keeping his vision alive for generations to come
