In 2007, the Board of Directors for the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association launched the Clear the Air Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated under the laws of the state of Colorado, where its purpose is to remove high-polluting vehicles from our roads for good.
Parts of these donated vehicles — most from franchised new car dealers — are recycled. The engine and other non-recyclable parts are crushed, never to pollute Colorado’s air again.
Funds received from recycling these vehicles are used to provide scholarships to students who are pursuing an Automotive Technician career and work at new car dealerships. To date, we've awarded 63 scholarships worth over $760,000.
Giving Activity
Mission
The mission of the Clear the Air Foundation is to help reduce air pollution by recycling older cars instead of keeping them on the road. A portion of the proceeds are used to provide scholarships to automotive technology students in Colorado.
