Progressive's Keys to Progress program is a reality thanks to the support of the following organizations:

Enterprise Rent-A-Car, the flagship brand of Enterprise Mobility known for serving customers needing a replacement vehicle while theirs is being serviced or repaired, is once again providing six months of auto insurance coverage to each vehicle recipient. Vehicles distributed through this year's Keys to Progress^® giveaway were purchased by Progressive from Enterprise Mobility's fleets.
Veracity Research Co. Investigations, a veteran-owned and operated organization that helps support the recipient selection process each year.
Insurance Auto Auctions Inc., which provides a 12-month powertrain protection plan for each vehicle.
The Original 1-800-Charity Cars, which provides resources to facilitate the vehicle donations, as well as titling and registration of some vehicles for recipients.
Local charities, which help to identify veteran recipients in each region.

Interested in applying to be a future recipient? You must meet the outlined criteria as noted in the application and on the website, and apply through a non-profit organization (e.g., charity or military association like a Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) post, etc.). Applications are reviewed starting in the Spring of each program year.
