Drive for Good is committed to providing crucial support services for cancer patients in North Dakota. Our mission is to alleviate the burdens that come with cancer treatment, ensuring that no patient faces these challenges alone. With your support, we can help patients access the essential services they need, from transportation to lodging and beyond.
A car donation can have a tremendous impact in our community. For just $1,500, your contribution can fund approximately 50 round-trip rides to vital chemotherapy or radiation appointments for those without reliable transportation. This level of support helps patients focus on their healing journey rather than worrying about the logistics of getting to their treatments.

↗Real impact, real numbers
With your generous donation, the impact is clear. A $1,500 contribution can provide around 50 round-trip rides to essential treatments, ensuring that patients can reach their appointments without the stress of transportation logistics. Alternatively, this level of funding can cover a month of lodging for a patient family in need, or copay assistance that can support multiple treatment cycles for low-income patients. At larger donation tiers of $2,500 or $5,000, your contribution amplifies this impact, providing even greater support for those battling cancer in our community.
How we vet recipient partners
At Drive for Good, we are dedicated to partnering only with reputable nonprofits that demonstrate a commitment to serving cancer patients. We prioritize organizations that are recognized within patient-assistance networks, such as those vetted by the Cancer Support Community or the Patient Advocate Foundation. These partners must show a high program ratio, ensuring that a significant portion of funds directly supports patient services rather than research funding. Furthermore, we require transparent reporting on the number of patients served through these programs to maintain accountability and trust.
How proceeds flow
When you donate your vehicle, a significant portion of the proceeds—approximately 70-80% of the gross sales—will be directed to support our partner organizations that provide essential cancer patient services. After deducting tow and processing costs, the net funds will be allocated based on the program ratio, ensuring that your donation reaches those who need it most, maximizing the impact on local cancer patients.
North Dakota recipient landscape
In North Dakota, the need for cancer patient support is particularly pressing due to geographic and economic challenges faced by individuals undergoing treatment. Many patients require travel to urban centers for care, often incurring high transportation and lodging costs. Local programs funded through your donations are designed to address these challenges, providing vital services tailored to the unique needs of our regional population. By donating to Drive for Good, you are directly contributing to improved health outcomes in North Dakota.
