Carmel, IN – Monday, January 12, 2026 – In 2025, America’s Auto Auction proudly donated over $500,000 to support charitable organizations and local initiatives across the country, touching the lives of children, families, and communities. Through year-round fundraising events, volunteer efforts, holiday drives, and partnerships with local nonprofits, the company’s 50+ auctions came together to make a meaningful difference for children, families, and communities nationwide.
At the heart of this impact is America’s Auto Auction’s belief in maintaining strong ties to the communities each auction serves. While the company continues to grow nationwide, each auction continues operating as a true hometown auction with connections to the people, businesses, and causes around them. This local involvement fuels the spirit behind the company’s charitable efforts and strengthens its culture of community support.
“At America’s Auto Auction, giving back is who we are,” said Chuck Tapp, CEO of America’s Auto Auction. “Our teams continue to show up for their communities with generosity, creativity, and heart. None of this would be possible without our incredible employees, dealers, and partners whose support ensures we can uplift those who need it most. As we grow, we’re proud that each of our auctions continues to support the communities that have supported them for decades. Our employees serve as mentors, coaches and workers for projects in almost every market in which we operate.”
This year’s contributions supported a wide range of causes, including children’s hospitals, youth mentorship programs, hunger relief, foster care support, holiday gift initiatives, cancer services, disaster relief, and assistance for families in crisis. Many auction locations also worked alongside first responders, schools, shelters, and community groups further demonstrating how each hometown auction remains closely involved in meeting local needs.
“As we look ahead to 2026, we are grateful for the compassion and dedication our teams continue to demonstrate,” said Brian Thomas, Senior Vice President of America’s Auto Auction. “The impact our auctions create is extraordinary. With continued growth on the horizon, we’re excited to extend that impact even further while staying connected to the communities that make our auctions special.”
