Builds affordable homes alongside families in need across all 50 states and 70+ countries.
Not every Hillsborough County vehicle is worth the work of a private sale. A non-running car, an aging second vehicle, or a motorcycle gathering dust can quietly cost more in insurance and registration than it would fetch on the open market. Donating it ends the expense and produces a tax deduction in its place.

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.

An unused Hillsborough County vehicle keeps generating insurance premiums and registration fees. Donating it ends those bills the moment the title transfers.

Cars are only the most common donation. A small business retiring a Hillsborough 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. There is no limit on the number of vehicles a donor can give. Each donation is documented separately, with its own title transfer and its own Form 1098-C if applicable.
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.
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.
