How to Donate

The Arc accepts the following vehicles seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

  • Cars
  • Vans
  • Trucks
  • Boats with a trailer
  • Recreational vehicles

It’s as simple as filling out our online donation form! Prefer to speak with a person? Call us at (877) 272-2270 and one of our friendly operators will assist you.

You must be able to provide: the year, make and model of your vehicle, the general condition, the vehicle identification number, and have the title and lien release in hand.

Maximize Your Deduction

Car donations made to a charitable nonprofit organization are tax-deductible. The best practice is to consult with a tax professional on how to maximize your tax deduction since every situation is unique.

In general, the IRS limits the tax deduction to the gross proceeds from the sale of the car, truck, or other vehicle. Charitable contributions must be itemized on Schedule A of Form 1040 to qualify. If the total deduction claimed on the tax return exceeds $500, Form 8283 “Non-cash Charitable Contributions” must also be completed and attached.

To learn more about what a donors responsibilities are prior to making a car donation, please consult the “Donors Guide to Vehicle Donations” found in IRS Publication 4303. This file may be read with Adobe Reader.
