Driven to Renew Application 2025/26 Part 1

Please Note: Current Wait Times and Program Eligibility

We are currently experiencing an approximately 4-week wait for intake.

Driven to Renew Foundation is designed to assist working individuals and families who are struggling to afford essential vehicle safety repairs. To qualify, at least one member of the household must be employed.

We sincerely apologize that our program is not currently set up to assist individuals or families who rely solely on government assistance, including AISH. We recognize that many people in these circumstances face significant financial challenges, and we truly wish we had the resources to help everyone in need.

As a small nonprofit organization with limited resources, we must remain focused on the working individuals and families our program was specifically created to serve.

Thank you for your understanding.

If this application is for a vehicle repair, please provide your vehicle year, make and current kilometers. Please note that DTR will only accept applications on vehicles with less than 250,000 km and the repairs cannot exceed the value of the vehicle. If this is not for a vehicle just put N/A

Eg: 2008-honda civic with 220,000km OR N/A if no vehicle

We understand that life can change in an instant - a broken vehicle, a sudden bill, or an unexpected setback can make everything feel overwhelming. This program is designed to assist people before the bottom falls out - providing timely support that helps you stay on your feet and move forward with confidence. By sharing a bit about who you are and what you're facing, we can better understand your situation and connect you with the right kind of help. Driven to Renew exists to offer a hand up, not a handout - restoring stability, hope, and dignity one family at a time.
