Their team verifies clear title, runs the vehicle history, and prepares all necessary transfer paperwork.

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.
The IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search (apps.irs.gov/app/eos) lists every active 501(c)(3) by name and EIN. Donors who want to verify a charity before donating can look it up there directly.
The deduction generally applies to the tax year in which the title transfer is completed. Donors aiming to claim it in a particular year often start early enough to leave room for pickup and paperwork before December 31.
Almost any make is accepted — domestic, import, and luxury vehicles are all routinely donated. Acceptance is driven more by title status, location, and condition than by brand.
Not for most vehicles. For donations valued over $5,000 that are not sold by the charity, a qualified appraisal and IRS Form 8283 Section B are generally required. For vehicles the charity sells, the sale price reported on Form 1098-C establishes the deduction — no appraisal needed.
