Why this fits
Donating your vehicle can be a life-changing decision for single parents. It not only helps free up some financial resources but can also provide you with a potential tax deduction.

By donating, you gain peace of mind while also supporting an organization that is dedicated to helping families like yours.

How it works for you
Contact Us
Fill out our simple online form or give us a call to let us know about the vehicle you wish to donate. Our team is readily available to assist you with any questions or concerns.
Schedule Pickup
Once we have your information, we’ll work with you to schedule a convenient pickup time that fits your school and work commitments. We understand how busy your schedule can be.
Get Your Vehicle Ready
Prepare your vehicle for donation by removing personal belongings. It's helpful to have the title and registration documents ready, but we can guide you through this process if needed.
Pickup and Donation Confirmation
On the scheduled day, our team will arrive to pick up your vehicle. We'll provide you with a receipt for your donation, which is important for your tax records.
Tax Deduction Guidance
After your donation, you’ll receive a Form 1098-C that will outline your vehicle’s value. This document is essential for claiming your tax deduction appropriately.
Tax considerations for this situation
As a single parent filing as Head of Household, your income tax situation may present opportunities for deductions. Donations exceeding $500 typically qualify you for a tax deduction based on the vehicle’s sale price. If your car sells for over $5,000, you can claim that amount on your taxes. Remember, VA disability benefits are not taxable, which means you may have a lower tax burden. Consult with a tax professional to understand the full benefits of your car donation.
Pickup accommodations
We prioritize convenience for our donors. Our pickup service is designed to accommodate your busy life. You can schedule pickups in the evenings or on weekends to ensure minimal disruption to your family’s routine, letting you focus on what matters most.
