We believe that every child holds a key to our future. We are committed to supporting opportunities for them to reach their full potential and Keep Driving for a better tomorrow.
Our Initiatives
Education
The Keep Driving Foundation was established by the employees of Groove Auto. It’s about enriching the lives of children through education and foundational support. The program is locally targeted and classroom focused, enabling area schools to receive donations during the school year that directly impacts the students, the school’s facilities and the teachers.
If you work for or are involved with a school or education program in Colorado and would like to apply for a grant we welcome you to please fill out the application form.
Food Security
We believe our community is what makes us stronger and that giving back is what brings us together. 1 in 9 Children in Colorado face hunger every day. Groove Auto is proud to partner with the Foodbank of the Rockies to help feed families in need throughout Colorado.

Groove Auto Announces launch of Keep Driving Foundation
Centennial, CO – August 24. 2022. Groove Auto is proud to announce the establishment of their non-profit organization, the Keep Driving Foundation. The Keep Driving Foundation will allow Groove to do more to invest in the communities where we do business by providing access to additional funding that will help build a brighter future for individuals and organizations in need.
The Keep Driving Foundation will continue to support Groove’s commitment to education and will allow us to expand upon what we’ve done with the Drive for Education Program®.
The Drive for Education program, established in 2011 set aside a portion of each vehicle sold to support local schools. Through that program Groove has been able to provide $850,000 to local schools and an additional $125,000 in recent years through our partnerships with Folds of Honor and Foodbank of the Rockies.
The Keep Driving Foundation will now set aside a portion of the proceeds from both sales and service to more than double the impact we will be able to have in our communities in the first year alone.
“Our mission has always been to drive change in the communities we serve and to enrich the lives of children and families in need,” said Rob Edwards, President of Groove Auto. “By establishing the Keep Driving Foundation we are going to be able to have a greater impact by giving our customers and the local community more opportunities to contribute and by continuing to build strong partnerships with local business and other charitable organizations.”
If your organization is doing meaningful work in the areas of education, food insecurity or supporting local families in need, begin the process by submitting a grant application.
At Groove we believe every child holds a key to our future. We are committed to supporting opportunities for them to reach their full potential and Keep Driving for a better tomorrow.
