This year marks the 15th annual Palmiero Toyota Give Back Program. For every vehicle sold throughout the
year, Palmiero Toyota saves a portion of the proceeds to give back to the community through local non-profit
organizations. This year there will be one top prize with the winner receiving $5,000 plus a $5,000 match from
Toyota.

To apply for the program, local 501(c)(3) organizations need to submit a one page (8.5×11) biography of their
organization and an explanation of how a $5,000 gift would benefit your organization and the community.
This biography will be displayed for the community during voting. Please note: you must provide proof of
501(c)(3) status regardless of past participation.

Once we have our submissions we invite our customers and the public to come in during the month of
November and vote for a charity of their choosing. Palmiero employees and owners also have the
opportunity to choose a second charity to receive a donation. This year’s voting will take place from
November 4 – 30th. Our winner’s presentation will be held the evening of Tuesday, December 3rd.

Please plan to send a representative to the presentation from your organization.

If you know a well deserving local 501(c)(3) organization, please encourage them to apply for our 2024 Give
Back Program. Submissions can be made via email to [email protected] or mailed to the
dealership:
