 JumpStart assists
eligible, low-income families in buying a reliable
car for work, employment training and family needs.
JumpStart is a program of West CAP and is
currently available to families in west central Wisconsin.
How we can help:
Help you purchase a fully inspected, fuel-efficient,
recent model car with warrantyProvide $500 for a down payment on your car loanAssist you in obtaining a low-interest loan
(average $200 monthly payment)
Provide support to help cover major repair costs
during your loan
Why
JumpStart?
In rural areas a car is necessary to get to work and
provide for your family's needs. Our experience in
helping hundreds of low-income families purchase a
reliable car shows that car ownership significantly
improves their access to a better job, education,
good daycare, medical services and family activities.
Unlike many car purchase
programs that rely on low-cost and often unreliable
older vehicles, JumpStart believes that ownership
of a recent model, fuel-efficient, and reliable car
offers the best chance of success for families striving
to reach financial self-sufficiency.

Donate Your Car
& Help Local
Families |
If you are thinking about trading your
car for a newer one, or if you have a
car that you are no longer using,
consider donating it to our JumpStart
Program.
| JumpStart assures that
your car donation
benefits local families. And as a non-profit car |
 |
program, the new tax laws still allow us
offer you the highest tax donation
value — up to FAIR MARKET
VALUE.
Unlike the vast majority of car charity
programs, JumpStart is able to either
repair and use donated vehicles to
directly help families, or to use the
proceeds from car sales to purchase
and provide more reliable vehicles.
This means that you will receive the highest available tax deduction and
be assured that your donation helps
meet the needs of local families.
