Take the wheel of a nonprofit vehicle.
There are numerous nonprofit organizations that accept donations of used vehicles to benefit their cause. Of these cars, a large majority are sold at auction so that the value of the vehicle can be acquired in cash. There are a handful of organizations that offer vehicles to benefit individuals, most with locally filed applications. Keep in mind that it is much easier to find a car at a great discount than to find one entirely donated.
Instructions
1. Find an organization that donates cars to individuals in your region. You may find that most sources like Goodwill's Cars for Work and Vehicles for Change will require a modest fee for the vehicle. Some local ministries or other smaller organizations may be more likely to offer direct donations. If you don't have a budget for a vehicle purchase, the best bet is to approach your church or local community welfare group for assistance. Many nonprofit organizations that promote a "back to work" type of initiative operate locally and may be able to help you find the car you need.
2. Evaluate the likelihood of qualifying for a vehicle. Even nonprofits like Goodwill and Vehicles for Change---who both charge a modest fee---require that certain criteria be met. You must have a job, and must provide proof that your income falls in a low-wage category. If you have offenses like a DUI or other major traffic ruling, you most likely will not qualify.
3. Contact your local office. Neither Goodwill nor Vehicles for Change will work with an individual on the national level. Find a local branch and inquire about their programs.
