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.
An unused Page County vehicle keeps generating insurance premiums and registration fees. Donating it ends those bills the moment the title transfers.
Donors who itemize can deduct the Page County vehicle's qualifying value on their federal return. For most cars, that figure is the amount the charity nets when the vehicle is sold.
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.

Most charitable giving happens in cash, but an old car parked in a Page County driveway is often the more sensible thing to give. The vehicle generates insurance and registration bills while it sits and depreciates the longer the decision waits.
Donating the car directly converts it into a tax deduction documented by IRS Form 1098-C, and the towing is on the receiving charity rather than the donor.
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 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.
Often, yes. Junk cars, non-running vehicles, and cars with major mechanical issues are accepted by many charities and sold at auction or to salvage buyers. Free towing still applies.
Insurance should generally be kept active until the title transfer is complete and the vehicle has been picked up. Confirming the transfer with the state DMV before canceling protects the donor from liability on the vehicle after it leaves.
No. A pickup request is informational and carries no cost or obligation. The donor can review the details and decline at any point before the title is signed over.
Yes, but every name on the title generally must sign the transfer. Jointly titled vehicles are common donations once all owners agree.
