Mercedes-Benz Club of America
Educational Foundation

Connecting generations through education — preserving the heritage, developing emerging talent, and ensuring the legacy of Mercedes-Benz endures for decades to come.

A Foundation Built on Passion

Since 1997, the MBCAEF has grown into a vital part of the MBCA community — a place where history meets hands-on learning, and where every generation has a role to play.

More Than a Club.
A Legacy.

The Mercedes-Benz Club of America Educational Foundation (MBCAEF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization governed by MBCA, established in 1997 to serve enthusiasts, owners, and the next generation of Mercedes-Benz stewards.

We connect generations through education. From preserving the rich history and heritage of Mercedes-Benz to expanding technical training for emerging talent, the MBCAEF exists to ensure that the passion, craftsmanship, and legacy of this iconic brand endures for decades to come.

Education.
Heritage.
Community.

We believe that caring for a Mercedes-Benz is more than ownership. It's a commitment to something lasting. The MBCAEF brings together historians, technicians, collectors, and first-time owners — united by a shared responsibility to preserve what makes this marque extraordinary.

Four Ways We Serve the Community

01

Preserve History & Heritage

We champion the stories, milestones, and engineering achievements that define Mercedes-Benz — keeping the past alive and accessible for enthusiasts of all ages.

02

Develop Emerging Talent

Through hands-on technical training and mentorship programs, we equip the next generation of technicians, restorers, and enthusiasts with the skills to carry the tradition forward.

03

Support Long-Term Stewardship

We help owners plan thoughtfully for the future of their vehicles — connecting them with resources, expertise, and community to ensure their cars are cared for and appreciated for years to come.

04

Build Community

Education is at the heart of everything we do. Whether through workshops, scholarships, or mentorship, we bring people together around a shared love for the brand.

Give Your Mercedes-Benz a Legacy Worth Remembering.

Since 1956, the Mercedes-Benz Club of America has been built on a simple belief: these vehicles are worth preserving. Not just as machines, but as milestones — rolling proof of a century of engineering, craftsmanship, and passion.

When you donate your Mercedes-Benz to the MBCAEF, you're not letting go of something you love. You're ensuring it continues to teach, inspire, and connect the next generation of enthusiasts — exactly the way it connected you.

Donated vehicles support hands-on technical training, fund scholarships for emerging technicians and restorers, and help preserve the history of a marque that has defined automotive excellence for over a century. Your contribution keeps that tradition alive.

More Than a Donation.
A Contribution to History.

With nearly 30,000 members across 85 local sections in the U.S. and Canada, MBCA has spent nearly seven decades proving that Mercedes-Benz ownership is a shared experience — not a solitary one. The MBCAEF exists to extend that community into the future.

Prior to 1952, fewer than 34 Mercedes-Benz automobiles were registered in the entire United States. Today, our community spans continents. That growth was built by people who believed the story of this marque was worth telling. Your donation continues that work.

Vehicle donations may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Our team will guide you through every step of the process — from title transfer to acknowledgment letter.

Ready to Make a Lasting Gift?
