The Overcrest Foundation
The mission of the Overcrest Foundation is to preserve and celebrate the culture and history of motoring while giving back to the automotive community. Through education, storytelling, and community-driven initiatives, we aim to foster connection, support enthusiasts, and provide opportunities for meaningful, transformative experiences.
Central to our mission is a commitment to creating and funding opportunities that make the world of motoring more accessible to deserving individuals who may not otherwise be able to afford to participate. This is done through fundraising and scholarships that enable access to unique experiences, supporting creative projects, and breaking down barriers to participation. The Overcrest Foundation strives to ensure that everyone has the chance to connect with and be inspired by the rich culture and history of motoring. By investing in people and their potential, we’re building a stronger, more inclusive community and ensuring that the joy and legacy of car culture can be shared by all.
At the core of our work are three guiding pillars: experiences, mentorship, and recognition.
These principles shape every initiative we undertake:
Experiences
Funding participation, travel, and logistics for transformative events like the Eric Augustyn Free Ride Scholarship, hero meet-and-greets, and epic journeys.
Mentorship
Providing resources to connect seasoned professionals with eager learners, covering costs such as training materials, workshops, and stipends to ensure accessibility for both mentors and mentees.
Recognition
Allocating funds to honor someone who selflessly enhances the automotive community, or their own community, including awards, events, and publicity efforts to showcase their contributions.
The Overcrest Foundation is an official, fully registered 501c(3) tax-exempt organization. As such, all donations are tax-deductible within the US, as specified in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
