Common questions
Is my vehicle donation tax-deductible?
Yes. Vehicle donations are tax-deductible. Individual tax situations vary, so consult your tax advisor or see IRS Publication 4303.
My car doesn't run or hasn't been used in years. Can I still donate it?
Yes. Non-running vehicles are accepted as long as they're towable and in one piece. Contact us to schedule a pickup.
Can I donate a vehicle that's out of state?
Yes. Pickup is available in all 50 states. Use the online form or call 877-WFDD-CAR.
Do I need to notify my state's motor vehicle department?
Notifying your state releases you from liability for the vehicle. Steps vary by state, such as returning your plates or submitting a release of liability form.
Who handles the donation?
WFDD's donation partner, CARS (Charitable Adult Rides & Services), handles pickup, paperwork and sale. The proceeds support WFDD.
