Continuing A Legacy of Giving
CFADA has been giving to charity since our association was first chartered in 1929. From time, talent, and financial resources— the members of Central Florida Auto Dealers Association (CFADA) continue to freely give back to the communities in which they reside.
Florida Automotive Youth Educational Systems (AYES) Program
For more than two decades, we have supported the AYES program now known as the Florida ASE Student Career Development Program. Our contributions help high school students prepare for continuing education in a career in the Automotive field. We have the smartest, safest, and most reliable vehicles on the road. To maintain these vehicles, we need our brightest minds trained in their care.
Seminole State College
For 10 years CFADA fundraised and lobbied for state matching funds to build a new professional Automotive Training Center at Seminole State College. The now 55,000 square-foot, $10.4 million, state-of-the-art training center positively impacts the Central Florida automotive industry and serves as a workforce pipeline for our dealers.
Grants and Scholarships
In addition to our other charitable and fundraising efforts, every year the current president of CFADA and the chairman of the Central Florida International Auto Show award an additional $20,000 to charities of their choosing. Our board members also give $5,000 each ($35,000 total) to a charity of their choosing.
In partnership with Seminole State College, we also sponsor partial to full-ride scholarships for students interested in pursuing a career in automotive technology.

“I am catching up, belatedly, on some of the donations to AMF over the last few months and wished to thank you directly… for your significant generosity and support. It is very much appreciated. 100% of your $10,000 donation will buy 5,000 long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and protect an estimated 9,000 people when they sleep at night from the bites of malaria-carrying mosquitoes. That’s 18 entire villages covered thanks to you. Brilliant. We allocate each donation to a specific net distribution and you can follow where the nets you have funded will be distributed via your personal donations page.”
