National Charities Strengthened
Returning as partners are renowned national charity organizations such as the ASPCA, Make-A-Wish, Meals on Wheels America, and the National Park Foundation.

During this year's Share the Love Event, which runs from November 20, 2025, to January 2, 2026, Subaru and its retailers aim to achieve a staggering cumulative total of over $350 million in donations to charitable organizations. This financial commitment is not just a number; it reflects the heart and soul of Subaru's corporate philosophy, which prioritizes community welfare and support.
Empowering Local Causes
With every new Subaru vehicle sold or leased during the campaign period, Subaru contributes $250 directly to a charity chosen by the customer. Retailers also have the option to contribute an additional $50 to designated local charities, emphasizing their involvement in the welfare of their communities. Additionally, for every qualifying routine service visit in Subaru dealerships, an additional $5 is donated to local hometown charities, reinforcing Subaru's commitment to aiding community-based causes.
Impact Stories from Notable Partners
Throughout the years, Subaru has cultivated strong relationships with its charity partners, enabling them to make significant contributions to various causes. Notably, over 142,000 animals have been helped thanks to the ASPCA partnership. This support has included funds for rescues, wellness checks, and transportation, demonstrating Subaru's dedication to the welfare of animals nationwide.
Transforming Lives through Make-A-Wish
Subaru ranks as the largest automotive donor to Make-A-Wish, having played a vital role in granting wishes to over 3,900 children battling critical illnesses. These wishes provide not just joy to the children and their families but also spark hope and positivity in challenging times, transforming lives and creating meaningful memories.
