Does your employer offer a matching donation?
Got a vehicle you’re not using? Turn it into a donation to us and tax deduction for you.
Donate your car, RV, boat or motorcycle, in any condition, running or not. Save yourself the hassle of selling and make a fully tax-deductible donation.
To start the simple process of donating your vehicle, you can complete the online donation form. Once your vehicle is accepted, you will receive the necessary DMV forms along with your donation receipt. Your vehicle will then be picked up in a timely manner at no cost to you.
