Begin by filling out our straightforward online donation form. This step only requires basic information about you and your vehicle, eliminating the need for extensive back-and-forth communications.
Step 2: Schedule Your Pickup
Once your form is submitted, we will arrange a pickup time that works best for you. Our pickup specialists are trained to accommodate individuals with mobility challenges, ensuring a smooth experience.
Step 3: Sign the Paperwork
Our team will handle the necessary paperwork. You can choose to sign electronically, or if you prefer, we can discuss arrangements where a family member or caregiver assists you in completing the documents.

After the pickup, you will receive documentation confirming your donation. This can help you with potential tax deductions, depending on your financial situation and tax filing methods.
Paperwork accommodations
Power of Attorney (POA) Involvement
If you have a caregiver or family member acting on your behalf, they can complete the donation paperwork through a Power of Attorney, ensuring everything is handled correctly.
Electronic Signature Options
We offer electronic signature capabilities, making it easy for you to approve the necessary documents without needing to leave your home.
Family Member Assistance
Family members can be involved in the donation process, whether assisting with paperwork or coordinating pickup, ensuring you have support every step of the way.
Remote Coordination for Paperwork
For those unable to meet in person, our team can facilitate remote coordination to ensure all paperwork is completed efficiently and without stress.
Honest about limitations
While donating your vehicle can be a straightforward and beneficial process, it’s essential to set realistic expectations. Donors who are unemployed or have little or no tax liability may not benefit significantly from the tax deduction associated with vehicle donations. Additionally, the value of your deduction may vary, especially if your vehicle sells for less than $500. It's important to consult with a tax professional to understand how this may impact your personal situation.
