Lincoln Driven to Give

In 2012, Lincoln Motor Company launched Driven to Give; a program in which test-driving a Lincoln vehicle can generate funds for either educational or charitable organizations.

Through Driven to Give, a Lincoln or Ford Lincoln Dealership will partner with a local school or charitable organization of its choice to execute unique one day activation. Members of the community come to engage with the new Lincoln vehicle collection and Lincoln will donate $20 for each valid test-drive, up to $6,000 for each organization. Driven to Give events now have the opportunity to raise additional funds with bonus drives, up to $2,000, for additional test-drives taken in another Lincoln vehicle!

Engage the community: Offer additional incentives to encourage participation. Host your event in conjunction with another event or activity in the local community. Invite local vendors or businesses to showcase their products by providing goodie bags for test-drive participants and/or providing their own supplemental donations for each test-drive.

Suggested Weekend Event Itinerary:

• 8:00 AM – Dealership personnel set up event space. Organizations staff arrive and place signage on-site.
• 9:00 AM – Event begins: Volunteers and dealership staff greet guests and assist them through the preregistration and post-drive surveys.
• 3:00 PM – Event ends. Primary dealership contact collects iPads and uploads all surveys.
• 4:00 PM – Dealership personnel collect all vehicles. Volunteers clear the event space, removing all event materials.

Requirements for a valid test drive:

• Participants must be 18 years or older and have a valid driver's license.
• Participants must complete both the preregistration and post-drive surveys on the Driven to Give iPads.
• Those wishing to be a passenger must also complete both surveys to count for a valid donation.
• Only one donation per valid household address will be considered valid.
• Duration of the test-drive should last approximately five minutes.
