What can I donate?
You can donate any vehicle to WBFO, including cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles and recreational vehicles. Your vehicle donation will be sold at an auction to the highest bidder and the proceeds of the sale will go directly to WBFO!
We accept all vehicles, running or not! There are always exceptions, which will be handled on a case by case basis. Call 877-308-2408 for more details.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes, WBFO is a non-profit organization and all donations qualify as a charitable deduction on your federal income tax return.
What do I need to donate my car?
The title to the car must be in your name and free and clear of any liens. We will also need some information about where the car is located and the condition of the car. This will assist us in scheduling appropriate towing arrangements.
Will you pick up my car?
Yes, and at no cost to you! A towing company will call you to schedule the pick-up of your vehicle. You will need to remove personal items from the vehicle and give the driver the keys to the vehicle as well as your signed title.
How is the value of my car determined?
The IRS allows you to take a charitable tax deduction on your federal income tax form equal to the amount the vehicle sells for at auction unless it sells for less than $500. If your vehicle sells for less than $500 you may deduct no more than $500. If your vehicle sells for more than $500, you will need to include the IRS form 1098C. Vehicles for Charity will supply this documentation after your vehicle sells. We recommend you consult your tax advisor with questions about your deduction.
Please note that Vehicles for Charity is a nonprofit organization operated by ARC, the Association for Retarded Citizens. Cars are sold wholesale, and WBFO keeps roughly 70% of the net profit after sales expenses. ARC retains the balance.
