ASC Educational Foundation
The ASC Educational Foundation (ASCEF) is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to supporting and advancing the entire automotive industry. For more than 20 years, ASCEF has helped hundreds of students wanting to pursue a career in the automotive field by raising funds and providing scholarships, endowments, and training programs throughout California.
How do we raise money?
ASCEF turns cars into careers and you can help us! Simply donate that extra car you no longer need. Your car donation helps the ASCEF make a difference in the lives of young students wanting to secure a career in the Automotive Industry—and our vehicle donation program makes it easy!
ASCEF handles the pick-up, sale, and paperwork all for free. Simply call 1-800-745-6121. You may qualify for a tax deduction while supporting a great cause!
Most vehicles can be picked up within two to three business days, or you may drop your vehicle off at one of our many donation centers. Once your vehicle is sold, we will provide you proper tax forms in time to file. ASCEF’s friendly Vehicle Donor Support Team is available seven days a week to assist throughout the process.
