Donate a Car to a Family in Need
Your old car can become someone's way to work. Tell us about your vehicle and we will guide you through the next steps.
What we can accept
- Cars, minivans, SUVs and small trucks
- Running cars that can be repaired for a family
- Non-running cars, which can be sold to fund repairs for other families
- Vehicles with a clear title in your name (we can help if your title is missing)
How your car helps
A reliable used car can help a parent keep a job, reach childcare and get to medical appointments. When a donated car is in good shape, partner mechanics inspect and repair it before it is placed with a working family. Cars that are not suitable are sold, and the money helps pay for repairs and first insurance payments for other families.
Donating safely and correctly
Sign the title over correctly, remove your plates if your state requires it, and file a release of liability with your DMV. Read our guide to car donation tax rules before you file your taxes.
Common questions
Will you pick up my car?

Can I donate a car that doesn't run?
Yes. Non-running cars can often be sold to fund repairs for families. Let us know the condition in the form.
Do I get a tax receipt?
You will receive written acknowledgment as required by IRS rules. See our car donation tax guide for how the deduction works.
