If you want to receive a tax deduction, you should call the IRS hotline at 1-877-829-5500 or visit the IRS website to check a charity’s eligibility.

Typically, you will want to donate your vehicle to a tax-exempt religious institution or a registered 501(c)(3) organization for a deduction on your taxes.

These organizations may then use the vehicle to help fund their charitable efforts.

Here are a few popular organizations that are usually accepting vehicle donations:

  • NPR Car Donation: If you are a fan of National Public Radio (NPR), you should consider donating your old or unused car to your local NPR station. These vehicle donations help fund NPRs radio programs and broadcasts.
  • Salvation Army Car Donation: The Salvation Army is a popular charitable organization that accepts donations of clothes, furniture, and even used vehicles. Regulations can vary by location, so call your local Salvation Army to see what they accept.
  • Make-A-Wish Car Donation: The Wheels For Wishes program accepts donations of vehicles to help fund the various Make-A-Wish programs.

Goodwill Car Donation: When you donate a car to Goodwill, you may be eligible for a tax deduction.
