Providing nonprofits with an extra boost

Are you a nonprofit addressing socioeconomic, racial and ethnic inequalities in your community? RepairSmith is here to help keep you moving with our Jump Start initiative.

What is Jump Start?

Jump Start is a community-focused initiative by RepairSmith that aims to remove the financial burden of car repair for nonprofit organizations — allowing delivery of essential services without disruption. Over the next year, RepairSmith will donate $250,000 in free car repair services to organizations who meet Jump Start's criteria. Each nonprofit is eligible for up to $10,000 in free services to passenger and light duty vehicles.

How Does RepairSmith Deliver Free Repairs?

If you are approved for Jump Start, you’ll work with the RepairSmith team to assess the state of your vehicles. In most cases, this will include running diagnostics on your vehicles to ensure we deliver the right repair for your vehicles.
RepairSmith will review your diagnostic results. RepairSmith will schedule a time for our mobile technicians to complete your services, up to $10,000 for each organization.
1. Within the $10,000 allotment, any vehicles owned by your organization (for example shuttle vehicles, work trucks, cargo vans, etc.) are eligible for any repair or maintenance service up to $1,000 per vehicle except transmission, engine, glass, collision/body work.
2. For personal passenger vehicles owned and used by your volunteers or staff members, each vehicle may receive up to $500 in service.
3. Beneficiaries of your organization are also eligible to receive up to $500 in service if the use of a safe and reliable vehicle is essential to their pursuit of education, job training or placement, medical appointments, or related needs.
4. The total cost of free repairs for each charity partner may not exceed $10,000. Organizations may opt to pay for any services that exceed $10,000 with their own funds while still taking advantage of their $10,000 allotment.
5. In order to best serve each partner, all repairs must be completed within 45 days of acceptance and free services cannot be carried over in time.
The RepairSmith team is actively seeking organizations who can benefit from Jump Start. As a program participant, our team will be documenting the partnership with your organization through storytelling with photos and video for sharing on social media and with press to help other organizations learn about the program. RepairSmith will review this process during your partnership onboarding.
