Skip the listings. Get the tax write-off and free towing — our charity of the week handles the rest.
Charities that accept vehicles routinely take cars that do not start, salvage-title vehicles, and aging junk cars. Condition affects value, not eligibility.
Proceeds from donated vehicles fund real programs — housing, food assistance, youth services, veterans support — operating across Chilton County and Chilton County.
An unused Chilton County vehicle keeps generating insurance premiums and registration fees. Donating it ends those bills the moment the title transfers.
Vehicle donations routed to MatchingDonors.com receive prioritized handling — free towing, title transfer, and IRS Form 1098-C after the vehicle sells. Proceeds fund the matching platform that has connected over 15,000 registered donors with patients in need.

Getting started is straightforward: a few details about the Chilton County vehicle and a request for a free, no-obligation pickup. There is no commitment at this stage and no cost to the donor.
From there, the request is passed to a qualified 501(c)(3) equipped to accept vehicle donations. That charity schedules the tow, accepts the signed title at pickup, and mails the IRS Form 1098-C. Easy Car Donation is an independent referral resource — the donation itself is completed between the donor and the receiving charity.
A transparent, four-step process ensures a smooth transition from vehicle to impact. (The exact process may differ between organizations, these are the general phases)
Your charity will conduct a preliminary assessment of your vehicle's market value and suitability for donation.
Their team verifies clear title, runs the vehicle history, and prepares all necessary transfer paperwork.
The title is officially transferred to the charity. You receive IRS Form 1098-C for tax deduction purposes.
The vehicle is sold or put to use by the charity, and proceeds fund their mission.
Straight answers on donating your car, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Pickup is typically scheduled within a few business days of the initial contact, often within a week. The donor sets the window; the tow company arrives during that window.
Pickup is often scheduled within a few days of the initial contact. The IRS Form 1098-C documenting the deduction is generally mailed within 30 days of the vehicle being sold, or within 30 days of the donation if the charity intends to use the car directly.
No. The signature on the title transfer must come from the registered owner. For deceased owners, an executor with the proper estate paperwork can typically sign on behalf of the estate; the receiving charity will confirm what documentation is needed.
Yes. Vehicles held by a company, partnership, or trust can be donated, though the deduction rules differ from those for individuals. An entity considering a gift should review the specifics with its tax advisor.
It depends on the state. Some states require the donor to remove plates before pickup and return them to the DMV; others transfer plates with the vehicle. The receiving charity and the state DMV can confirm the local rule.
