We address the urgent need for safe and supportive environments, providing essential services that help individuals regain stability and independence.

↗Real impact, real numbers
When you consider a vehicle donation valued at $1,500, it can fund approximately 40-60 shelter nights at a partner shelter, where the cost per bed-night is typically between $25 and $50. Alternatively, this donation could cover one family’s rent subsidy for a month in a transitional housing program or provide six months' worth of supplies for street outreach teams. For donations of $2,500 or $5,000, the impact multiplies significantly, helping even more families and individuals regain their footing and find permanent housing solutions. Every donation contributes to a vital safety net in our community.
How we vet recipient partners
At BeachMoto Aid, we prioritize transparency and accountability in our partnerships. We vet our partner nonprofits by ensuring they meet HUD Continuum-of-Care standards, focusing on those with low shelter-to-housed transition rates below 20%. This means fewer people return to homelessness. Additionally, we verify their financial practices through Form 990, ensuring that at least 75% of their expenses go directly to program services, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of your contributions.
How proceeds flow
Your vehicle donation undergoes a thorough auction process, with a significant portion—approximately 70-80% of the gross proceeds—netting to our partner organizations after towing and processing costs. From there, the program expense ratio is applied, ensuring that funds are strategically allocated to services that directly support homeless individuals and families in need.
