The Salvation Army
Accepts donated vehicles nationwide with free towing — proceeds fund adult rehabilitation centers, shelters, and disaster relief.
A Sansom Park car carries real costs while it sits. Registration, insurance, and slow depreciation continue whether the vehicle moves or not. Donating it to a 501(c)(3) ends those costs in one step and converts the vehicle into a tax deduction.

Every charity listed for Sansom Park is a pre-screened, IRS-qualified public charity that accepts vehicle donations.
An unused Sansom Park vehicle keeps generating insurance premiums and registration fees. Donating it ends those bills the moment the title transfers.
Donors who itemize can deduct the Sansom Park 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.

A used-car sale in Sansom Park is a project: a listing, photos, fielding messages from strangers, scheduling test drives, and absorbing whatever the eventual buyer talks the price down to. For a non-running or low-value vehicle, the work rarely lines up with the payout.
A charitable donation collapses that timeline. The receiving charity schedules a free tow at the donor's convenience and accepts the vehicle as-is — there is nothing to fix and nothing to show.
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.
A car that no longer starts is one of the worst things to try to sell — buyers steeply discount for the unknowns, and tow costs come out of the seller's pocket. The vehicle still owes registration, though, and most policies require some kind of insurance even on a parked car.
Qualified charities accept non-running vehicles directly. Towing is included at no cost, the title transfers at pickup, and the IRS Form 1098-C arrives once the charity processes the vehicle. The owner is rid of the car and the costs that came with it in a single appointment.
Straight answers on donating your car, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
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.
The IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search (apps.irs.gov/app/eos) lists every active 501(c)(3) by name and EIN. Donors who want to verify a charity before donating can look it up there directly.
The donor signs the vehicle title over to the charity at the time of pickup; the receiving charity files the transfer with the state and mails the IRS Form 1098-C afterwards. Specific signature requirements vary by state DMV.
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.
Typically nothing. Towing is covered by the receiving charity, title transfer is handled by the charity, and there are no fees a donor should ever pay directly to a 501(c)(3) for accepting a vehicle.
Yes. Vehicles held by a company, partnership, or trust can be donated, though the deduction rules differ from those for individuals. An entity considering a gift should review the specifics with its tax advisor.
