Goodwill Car Donation accepts vehicles in any condition — proceeds fund job training and employment placement programs in your community.
The hardest part of donating a Soddy-Daisy car is usually deciding to. The receiving charity coordinates the free tow, accepts the signed title at pickup, and mails the IRS Form 1098-C — the donor's role is mostly waiting for the tow truck.

From there, the request is passed to a qualified 501(c)(3) equipped to accept vehicle donations. That charity schedules the tow, accepts the signed title at pickup, and mails the IRS Form 1098-C. Easy Car Donation is an independent referral resource — the donation itself is completed between the donor and the receiving charity.

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. The donor picks the cause that fits their intent from the list shown for Soddy-Daisy. The featured partner is also available for donors who prefer not to compare options one by one.
Pickup is typically scheduled within a few business days of the initial contact, often within a week. The donor sets the window; the tow company arrives during that window.
Yes, but every name on the title generally must sign the transfer. Jointly titled vehicles are common donations once all owners agree.
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.
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.
Most charities sell donated vehicles — at auction, through a partner dealer, or directly — and direct the proceeds to their programs. Some charities use a donated car directly for fleet or client transportation. The receiving charity can confirm its intended use before pickup.
