Mission



The Massachusetts Automobile Dealers Charitable Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit private foundation dedicated to serving the Commonwealth’s residents through its eleemosynary and educational pursuits. The Foundation raises and distributes funds for two programs – its Teen Advanced Driver Training Program and its Automotive Technician Scholarship Program – both of which are aimed at providing an avenue for Massachusetts automobile dealers to shine a bright light in their communities.

History

The Foundation was established in 1997 in order to contribute funding to worthwhile community endeavors. In 2001, the Foundation began partnering with advanced driver training schools to provide a unique, four-hour, hands-on course designed to give teens the skills they need to stay safe on the roads. To date we have helped train over 5,000 teens. In 2003, the Foundation began its Automotive Technician Scholarship Program, which has awarded over $425,000 to the industry’s best and brightest up-and-coming auto technicians. The Foundation currently awards 17 part-time scholarships worth $6,000 each over 2 years and 4 full scholarships. The Foundation gleans the majority of its funds from the New England International Auto Show Preview Party.
