What Kinds of Paradise Valley Vehicles Can Be Donated

Vehicle donation is not limited to running passenger cars. Pickup trucks, SUVs, minivans, motorcycles, RVs, boats on trailers, and even snowmobiles and ATVs are accepted by 501(c)(3) charities serving Paradise Valley.

Non-running vehicles, salvage-title cars, and vehicles with cosmetic damage routinely qualify. Title questions and mechanical condition are worked through when the tow is scheduled rather than used as a reason to turn the vehicle away upfront.

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)
