Here’s what nonprofits need to know about applying for the 2012 100 Cars for Good Program:Over the last 20 years, Toyota has contributed more than half a billion dollars to nonprofits throughout the U.S.. 100 Cars for Good allows the automaker to build on that commitment in important, new ways by making the public an integral part of these efforts and harnessing the power of social media to expand awareness and galvanize support for organizations that are having such a tremendous impact in neighborhoods nationwide.
The 100 Cars for Good application process will last until March 26th at noon PT, or until 5,000 completed applications are received (whichever comes first). Of these, 500 finalists will be selected and then certified by an independent panel of judges who are experts in the fields of philanthropy and social responsibility. Each finalist can then submit a video that will be featured on the Toyota 100 Cars site explaining how a new vehicle would help support its work. In addition, Toyota will be providing each of the finalists with communications and social media tools and training to assist their efforts to raise awareness for their organization.
Public voting will begin in May, with the exact date to be announced later, and will continue for 100 consecutive days.

Toyota is still the best!
ReplyDeleteToyota is not only an excellent manufacturer but also a responsible car maker company. They always make sure to make campaigns that will involve people who are basically their consumers. I also saw this "100 Cars for Good" logo when I visited Toyota Westbury last February. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to sign up.
ReplyDeleteI would vote for Toyota because my sedan that I bought from Liverpool used car deals is terrific. I love it's engine and it's so cool.
