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 Gulfport.

Gulfport Car Donation FAQ
Straight answers on donating your car, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
How long does a Gulfport car donation take? expand_more
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.
Are there Mississippi state tax benefits for donating a car? expand_more
State tax treatment of charitable gifts varies. Some states offer their own deduction or credit on top of the federal deduction; others do not. Because the rules differ, confirm the Mississippi specifics with a local tax advisor.
What is IRS Form 1098-C and is it needed? expand_more
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.
Should the donor empty the car before pickup? expand_more
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.
Can someone donate a car titled in another person's name? expand_more
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.
What is the featured charity, and is it required? expand_more
The featured partner is a 501(c)(3) experienced with vehicle donations. It is never required — donors can choose any charity. For donors whose primary goal is the tax write-off and a fast, low-friction pickup, routing to the featured partner is the simplest option.
