America’s Auto Auction has rapidly grown into one of the industry’s largest players.

It’s also going big when it comes to philanthropy.

The company donated more than $500,000 in 2025 to support charitable organizations and local initiatives across the country, with its 50-plus auctions contributing through year-round fundraising events, volunteer efforts, holiday drives and partnerships with local nonprofits.

In a news release, America’s Auto Auction said it seeks to maintain strong ties to the communities each auction serves, even as it expands nationally, allowing each auction to continue operating as “a true hometown auction with connections to the people, businesses and causes around them.”

“At America’s Auto Auction, giving back is who we are,” CEO Chuck Tapp said. “Our teams continue to show up for their communities with generosity, creativity and heart. None of this would be possible without our incredible employees, dealers and partners, whose support ensures we can uplift those who need it most.

“As we grow, we’re proud that each of our auctions continues to support the communities that have supported them for decades. Our employees serve as mentors, coaches and workers for projects in almost every market in which we operate.”

In 2025, the contributions supported a wide range of causes, the company said, including children’s hospitals, youth mentorship programs, hunger relief, foster care support, holiday gift initiatives, cancer services, disaster relief and assistance for families in crisis.

Many of the auction locations also worked alongside first responders, schools, shelters and community groups, which the company said illustrates the auctions’ involvement in meeting local needs.

At the corporate level, America’s Auto Auction partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of America, sponsoring two national events that support youth programs across the country.

“As we look ahead to 2026, we are grateful for the compassion and dedication our teams continue to demonstrate,” senior vice president Brian Thomas said. “The impact our auctions create is extraordinary. With continued growth on the horizon, we’re excited to extend that impact even further while staying connected to the communities that make our auctions special.”
