Driving Successful Lives Turns Unwanted Cars and Real Estate Into Life-Changing Help for Those in Need

Industry: Advertising & Marketing

While most charities ask for cash, Driving Successful Lives takes a different route — one paved with old vehicles, unused properties, and second chances.

Every day, families in need — veterans, single parents, seniors, and individuals with disabilities — are looking for basic help: a car to get to work, a roof over their head, or a fresh start. Driving Successful Lives makes that possible by accepting donations of cars, trucks, vans, RVs, boats, and even real estate — and turning them into life-changing support.

“We don’t just resell everything,” said Mark Maupin, Director of the charity. “Sometimes we fix up a donated car and give it directly to a veteran trying to rebuild their life. Sometimes a family with a disabled child receives a specially fitted van. That’s what makes us different — every donation has a story, and real impact.”

The organization also takes in vacant homes, land, and commercial properties that donors no longer want. These properties are either sold to fund mission work or fixed up and used to provide temporary housing for those in need.

And while the giving is personal, the benefits are practical:

  • Fast, free pickup of donated vehicles or real estate
  • Tax-deductible donations
  • Real stories of real people helped

Driving Successful Lives even employs individuals with special needs or disabilities, creating job opportunities and dignity for those often overlooked.

“A van someone doesn’t need anymore might become the only way a person with disabilities gets to live independently,” said Mark. “It’s not just a donation — it’s freedom for someone else.”

About Driving Successful Lives

Driving Successful Lives’ mission is to help raise funds and improve the lives of veterans, homeless families, children, those with addictions while helping donors generate a tax deduction, often with property or vehicles they might no longer want.

Every time a person gives to the charity of their choice it may also create a tax benefit for them. Car donations, real estate donations or money donated to non-profit institutions throughout the tax year may be tax deductible which means that they could make a positive difference for people while reducing the amount of income taxes they pay. Contributing to charities can be a very convenient way to reduce taxes and help others.
