WHAT IS #GIVINGTUESDAY?

It’s a simple idea started by the 92^nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation – create an international day of giving at the beginning of the holiday season to support charitable efforts worldwide. On Tuesday, November 29, you can be part of the movement by joining America’s Automotive Trust supporters across the country to give for one common purpose: to preserve America’s automotive heritage. Then tell everyone you can (email, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) about how you are giving to support America’s Automotive Trust.

Join us and be a part of a global celebration of a new tradition of generosity.

America’s Automotive Trust sees an important opportunity to ensure that America’s automotive legacy is celebrated and that vintage, and modern, collectible vehicles will be driven and enjoyed for generations to come. Your gift to America’s Automotive Trust through #GivingTuesday helps inspire lifelong learning. 

America’s Car Museum reaches a wide range of audiences from prekindergarten to postsecondary, toddlers to seniors, scouts to after-school clubs, and families to adults. ACM aspires to spark creative learning for all ages. The RPM Foundation is supporting a pathway to careers and hands-on, career-based education for young people across the country by awarding scholarships and educational grants to organizations committed to automotive restoration and preservation. Your gift also supports the maintenance of America’s Car Museum’s vast vehicle collection and introduction of new exhibits.

America’s Automotive Trust and its entities rely on the generosity of our donors to serve the community and secure America’s automotive heritage through our programs.

Join the movement, please donate to America’s Automotive Trust on #GivingTuesday.

* Donations $40 and above include ACM Membership. Membership renewals and pledge payments made on November 29 will count toward our #GivingTuesday fundraising total.
