Skip the listings. Get the tax write-off and free towing — our charity of the week handles the rest.
Vetted charities cover towing at no cost to the donor. Running or not, the vehicle is picked up at a scheduled time — the donor does not move it.
The receiving charity mails a Form 1098-C documenting the gift. It is the single piece of paperwork the IRS expects for a car donation deduction over $500.
Every charity listed for Jackson County is a pre-screened, IRS-qualified public charity that accepts vehicle donations.
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.

Cars are only the most common donation. A small business retiring a Jackson County delivery truck, a household done with an RV that no longer leaves the driveway, or an owner ready to part with a project motorcycle can donate those vehicles on the same basic terms.
Larger vehicles take a bit more coordination on the tow — a flatbed for a non-running RV, a trailer rendezvous for a boat — but the financial picture is the same: free pickup, a signed title, and IRS documentation for the deduction.
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.
Yes. Personal items, registration documents not needed for transfer, garage door openers, toll transponders, and aftermarket equipment the donor wants to keep should all be removed before the tow truck arrives.
Yes, it is a good idea. The information here is general, and a tax professional can confirm how a vehicle gift affects a specific deduction, income, and filing situation.
Form 1098-C is the IRS document a charity sends to a donor after a vehicle donation. For a deduction over $500, the donor attaches Copy B of Form 1098-C (or a Form 1098-C substitute) to the tax return. For a deduction of $500 or less, the form is not required.
Yes, but every name on the title generally must sign the transfer. Jointly titled vehicles are common donations once all owners agree.
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.
