Giving Back to Our Automotive Ecosystem by Paying Opportunity Forward!

Giving Back to Our Automotive Ecosystem by Paying Opportunity Forward!

Please join The Hourglass Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and Automotive Fleet & Leasing Association’s 2024 Charity of the Year, in their ‘iGIve Back’ Campaign!

The Hourglass Foundation is on a mission to empower first-generation, low income, and diversely underrepresented students through scholarship opportunities that support educational endeavors in automotive tech and other skilled trades.

In celebration of being named AFLA Charity of the Year, the organization has launched ‘iGive Back,’ a fundraising initiative to raise money for student scholarships. These scholarship gifts enable hardworking, passionate students to acquire an education they might not otherwise be able to afford, in fields that allow them to acquire specific skill sets that lead to solid employment opportunities, career ascension, and independence. This trades expertise is essential to the future success of the automotive industry.

As part of this initiative, The Hourglass Foundation is also giving away an iPad Air! 

Everyone who donates $25 or more to The Hourglass Foundation between August 1st and September 30th, 2024, (including at AFLA’s National Conference) will automatically be entered into a drawing to win! Even better, there are ways to increase your odds of winning. Click here to find out more!

To make this fundraiser more impactful, Flexco Fleet Services, HopDrive, and J3 Management Group have committed to matching all donations* made during the campaign.

We hope that you will join The Hourglass Foundation this year at AFLA’s Annual Conference in San Antonio, where they will have a table at the event. Stop by and say “Hi”, show your support with a donation, and walk away with some nice swag or a chance at winning that iPad Air!


For questions or more information, contact The Hourglass Foundation’s Executive Director, Kim Davidson at [email protected].


*Flexco Fleet Services, HopDrive, and J3 Management Group will be matching every dollar donated up to a total cap of $1,000 each during August 1-Sept. 30, 2024. The Hourglass Foundation, nor the iGive fundraising campaign is affiliated, endorsed or sponsored by Apple, or igive(dot)com.
