Vehicle Donations
Donate your used car, truck, boat or RV to Cancer Care Resources and we'll arrange to have it picked up free of charge. We accept most vehicles, even if they don't run. Some restrictions may apply on older vehicles, though. It's easy and convenient, and you'll be eligble for a tax deduction as well!
Why donate my vehicle?
It's much easier to donate your used vehicle than it is to sell it yourself. And the tax savings might even be more than what you would receive from a trade in. You'll be spared the ordeal of selling your vehicle to a stranger.

A: We will arrange to have your vehicle towed away by a professionally licensed, bonded and insured towing company.
6. How long will it take to pick up my car?
A. We will arrange for a towing company to contact you via telephone within three to four business days at the latest. If you need your car picked up sooner, please let us know as we are oftentimes able to accommodate rush orders as well.
7. Is my donation tax deductible?
A: Yes, vehicle and vessel donations made to bona fide charitable organizations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. We have verified that all charities listed within this site are classified with the IRS as non-profit charitable organizations. However, individual tax situations vary so please check with a tax professional to determine what, if any, tax benefit you may receive from a tax deductible donation.
8. How does my tax deduction work?
A: The IRS allows you, the taxpayer, to claim a tax deduction of (a) the value of your vehicle up to $500 or (b) if we sell the vehicle for more than $500 we will mail you a postcard with that value for your tax puposes. For additional information, the IRS provides a Donor's Guide to Car Donations which sets forth the manner in which the IRS requires you to determine the value of your donated property. |
