How does the program work?
You may complete the online donation form or call the donation line to donate your vehicle. When the information is complete, it is forwarded to the tow company. They will call you directly to schedule the pick up. At the time of the pick up, the driver will give you a receipt for taking the vehicle. We ask that you give the driver the keys and your appropriately signed title.

As a donor, what do I need before I can donate?
Three things are needed. (1) A clear title, which means a title with your name listed in the owner's section, without an assignment or transfer to another person. All liens must be released prior to donating the vehicle. (2) Your car keys. (3) When you call or fill out our online form, please have the title and current mileage in hand.

Do we pay for the towing?
No, there is no charge to you for the towing.

How long will I have to wait before my vehicle is picked up?
Typically, your vehicle will be picked up in 2-4 business days. The towing company will contact you in advance to schedule the pick up.

Do I really get a tax write-off and how much would it be?
Currently, if you as the donor itemize your deductions, you can deduct the "fair market value" of the vehicle. IRS Publication 526, Charitable Contributions, and Publication 561 Determining the Value of Donated Property, provides more detailed information about your donation. Vehicles for Charity does not place a value on the donated vehicles. The vehicle's fair market value must be determined by you, the donor. If the value is $5,000.00 or more, a qualified vehicle appraisal is required by the IRS.

What do you do with the vehicles?
The vehicles are taken to an auction and sold to the highest bidder.

Where do the proceeds go?
Proceeds are distributed to the charity designated by the donor.
