Our vision is to give children in need the ability to succeed by focusing on education, mentorship and year-round programs for the children, families and their communities. We rely on thousands of volunteers and we can not do it without as much help as humanly possible to accomplish our mission.
A quality education is the foundation to a child's success in all areas of life. This principle guides our many programs helping children access educational opportunities through volunteer teachers to and other academic professionals
We are always expanding our impact with strategic grants to non-profits nationwide focused on education, youth development and mentorship initiatives in their communities.
Donating your car is one of the best ways to get rid of an unused or unwanted vehicle. If your car is no longer operable or has damage that is too expensive to fix, or perhaps doesn’t qualify for a trade-in, then donating it to charity is a great option. There are many other reasons to donate your old car, like supporting your favorite charity or just wanting to do something for your community. Maybe you just want the tax deduction! Donating your car to charity is a win-win for all involved whatever the reason.
Your car donation is tax deductible and your vehicle donation helps contribute funds to the charity you love. This is how it works: We sell all donated vehicles to create cash proceeds for the charities we represent. Once your car donation sells, you can receive a tax deduction receipt, and the charity gets the money raised by the sale of the vehicle, less the expenses. The entire process is done in only a matter of weeks. Car donations have never been easier, and if you have additional questions about how our vehicle donation program works, our friendly staff are here to guide you through the entire process!
The tax deduction typically depends on the car’s sale price or its fair market value, depending on how the charity uses or sells the vehicle.
Most charities accept cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, boats, and sometimes other vehicles like trailers or ATVs. Some may accept non-working vehicles as well.
Not necessarily. Many charities accept non-working vehicles, though the value might be lower. Some organizations even offer to tow the car at no cost to you.
Typically, you fill out an online or phone application with the charity, and they will guide you through the process, including arranging pick-up and completing paperwork.
The charity might sell the car to raise funds, recycle it, or in some cases, repair it for use in their programs or to give to someone in need.
Most reputable charities will arrange to pick up your vehicle for free. Be cautious of any fees associated with the donation.
You’ll typically need the car’s title. Some states may require additional documents, like a release of liability or notification of transfer, so it’s essential to check local regulations.
The process is often quick. Charities can usually arrange for vehicle pick-up within a few days, and the paperwork can be completed within that timeframe.
It's important to research charities to ensure they're reputable and that your donation will be used effectively. Look for organizations that are 501(c)(3) tax-exempt and have good reviews or ratings from charity watchdogs.
In some cases, yes. You may need to contact your local DMV to get a replacement title before donating.
If you have a vehicle you want to use as a charitable donation to a non-profit group, we help you donate your vehicle quickly and simply. We come to whatever location is most convenient for you – such as your home, business, mechanic shop to pick up your vehicle, even if it’s not running.
We’re often asked, “Can I donate a vehicle with expired tags?” Yes. “Can I donate a vehicle without a title?” Yes: we can simply obtain a duplicate title for you at no cost. We answer most questions in our short, informative car donation video blogs. Or, just call if you'd like to chat.
