  Yes, in certain circumstances. Donated vehicles can have 2 purposes:
  • Provide a real-world experience for students in the Tech programs to learn how to perform repair work on a vehicle.
  • Allow students to restore a vehicle to salable condition. These vehicles are then re-sold with all proceeds returning to the Tech program for supplies and equipment. See the Gifts in Kind page for more information on vehicle donations.
