Apply to become a Keys to Progress recipient

The Keys to Progress veteran vehicle giveaway program provides support to those in need in the following areas:

  1. Personal transportation support:

    Our hope is to offer a little relief and improve the lives of military men and women facing tough personal circumstances for which a vehicle may help—from finding employment or transporting children to and from school to getting to medical appointments or visiting loved ones.

    The application window has closed for 2024.

  2. Commercial vehicle needs:

    Through this program we have also gifted vehicles to help veteran-focused organizations and non-profits, as well as veteran-owned small businesses.

    The application window has closed for 2024.

  3. Class 8 truck operator giveaway:

    Since 2018, we have periodically gifted a Class 8 semi-truck through this program, as well. Two deserving veterans so far have received Class 8 vehicles to help them start their own trucking operations, with a third one being gifted in September 2024.

    The application window has closed for 2024.

Please note: Recipients are responsible for applicable taxes and fees. If you're interested in being a vehicle recipient in this program, you will need to apply through a non-profit organization (e.g., a charity or military association like a VFW post, etc.) and meet applicable program criteria. For additional information on eligibility, please see FAQs.
