Park Place Dealerships Opens Applications for Season of Giving

Park Place Dealerships has launched the 6th Annual Season of Giving, offering up to a total of $100,000 in grants to nonprofits across Dallas-Fort Worth. Eligible organizations are invited to apply at parkplacecares.com through October 23. Grant recipients will be announced the week of November 16. 

To be considered, nonprofit organizations must meet the following criteria:

  • Be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
  • Support one of Park Place Cares’ four pillars of giving: Education, Medical Research, Children’s Advocacy, or the Arts
  • Serve at least one of the following counties: Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, Ellis, Grayson, Parker, Rockwall, Kaufman, Hunt, Hood, Wise and Johnson
  • Haven’t already received donations or in-kind support from Park Place in 2026
  • Submit application no later than October 23, 2026 

“Season of Giving gives us an opportunity to learn about nonprofits doing meaningful work throughout North Texas and support them through grants,” said Kara Connor, Community Engagement Manager at Park Place Dealerships. “Over the past five years, we’ve seen how that support can help organizations serve their communities. We’ve also built relationships that continue well beyond the grant itself, and we look forward to meeting this year’s applicants.”

Since 2020, Park Place has donated half a million dollars to 103 nonprofits supporting causes that align with Park Place Cares’ pillars.

Among the 19 organizations selected in 2025 was Fort Worth’s Adriana's Angels, which provides emotional support to children and families facing a childhood cancer diagnosis. The nonprofit used the Season of Giving grant to create Surprise! Packs for children in the hospital. 

Frisco Fastpacs also received a grant to further the organization's mission of providing weekend meal packs to at-risk children who rely on supplemental food assistance. Frisco ISD was able to provide 250 weekend meal packs, and 1,875 meals to at-risk children within the school district.  

Families to Freedom received funding to help provide safe transportation for individuals who are escaping domestic violence. Park Place continued this partnership in 2026 by holding a Car Seat Drive across all 11 dealerships, collecting new and gently used car seats for Families to Freedom to use. 

Evergreen Life Services, which serves and advocates for adults with intellectual disabilities, also received grant funding. Park Place strengthened this partnership during National Volunteer Week in April, when Members went beyond financial support and participated in a hands-on backyard makeover. See the full 2025 list here.

Park Place Dealerships was founded in 1987 and employs more than 1,400 members. Park Place Dealership operates three collision centers, an auto auction, and nine full-service dealerships representing luxury brands including Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volvo, Land Rover, Acura, and Sprinter Vans.
