Strengthening Nonprofit Partners
With over 6,500 nonprofits in Dane County, many care for people’s mental, emotional, spiritual, and material needs. This stabilization process can be complex, and it’s common for participants to:
● Become discouraged
● Feel like old, unhelpful habits are the only option
● Get stuck and stall out on making progress toward goals
At Generous Jalopy, we seek to strengthen outcomes for our nonprofit partners and their participants by brokering transportation solutions for people who are stabilizing their employment, housing, and livelihood.
Our Trusted Partners
We are curating an ecosystem of trusted auto dealers who can donate/wholesale vehicles or sponsor diagnostics/repairs. If you have automotive needs, please engage these businesses and thank them for their investment in the Generous Jalopy mission.
