Orlando Auto Ally is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for cancer patients in Orlando, Florida, by providing crucial support services that directly impact their treatment journey. We understand the challenges faced by families battling cancer, including transportation to treatment, financial strain due to copays, and the need for comfortable lodging during demanding treatment cycles.

↗Real impact, real numbers
Your generous donation can have a profound impact on patients in need. For instance, a donation of $1,500 can fund approximately 50 round-trip rides to chemotherapy or radiation for patients without transportation. Alternatively, it can cover a month of lodging for a family during treatment or provide copay assistance that supports multiple treatment cycles for low-income patients. At $2,500, the impact grows even further, ensuring that even more patients can receive the care they deserve without worrying about the financial burden. Every dollar counts in making a real difference in our community.
How we vet recipient partners
We are committed to partnering with reputable nonprofit organizations that prioritize patient support services over research funding. To ensure the integrity of our partnerships, we focus on organizations that are recognized within patient-assistance networks. These partnerships are chosen based on their high program ratio, meaning a significant portion of funds directly supports patient services. Additionally, we emphasize transparency, requiring regular reports on patient-served metrics to guarantee accountability and effective resource utilization.
How proceeds flow
After covering necessary towing and processing costs, approximately 70-80% of gross proceeds from vehicle donations are directed to our partner organizations. This approach ensures that a substantial portion of funds is allocated to programs that directly benefit cancer patients. The program ratio is then applied, allowing us to maximize the impact of your donation while maintaining transparency and accountability throughout the process.
