Great Plains Autos is committed to supporting cancer patients in Nebraska by providing vital resources that enhance their journey through treatment. Many patients face significant barriers, including transportation, lodging, and financial stress. By donating your vehicle, you help bridge these gaps, ensuring patients can focus on their recovery rather than logistical challenges.
Your car donation can be transformed into essential services that make a lasting impact. Each dollar contributed goes a long way, helping to fund transportation to treatment facilities, copay assistance, and lodging during critical treatment periods. This ensures that no patient has to navigate their cancer journey alone.
Programs your donation funds

↗Real impact, real numbers
Your generous donation can create a significant impact. For example, a vehicle donation valued at $1,500 funds approximately 50 round-trip rides to chemotherapy or radiation for those without transportation. Alternatively, it can provide a month of lodging for a patient family in need or cover multiple copay expenses for low-income patients facing treatment cycles. Every dollar counts and helps us turn your donation into tangible support for those battling cancer.
How we vet recipient partners
At Great Plains Autos, we prioritize partnering with reputable organizations that are dedicated to serving cancer patients effectively. We prefer to collaborate with nonprofits recognized by cancer support networks and those demonstrating high accountability through transparent reporting on the number of patients served. Our partners must be qualified 501(c)(3) organizations that focus on patient services rather than research funding, ensuring your donations have the highest impact possible.
How proceeds flow
After accounting for towing and processing costs, approximately 70-80% of the gross proceeds from vehicle donations directly support our partner programs. This amount is then allocated according to the program ratio to ensure efficient funding distribution for patient services. Your contribution directly empowers local cancer support efforts, making a real difference in the lives of Nebraska residents.
