Can I donate a vehicle that doesn't run?

Yes, we are happy to accept vehicles whether they run or not, as long as it has a title.

How much will I receive as a tax deduction for my car?

Your deduction depends on the sale price of the vehicle. The National Kidney Foundation strives to bring in the highest price for your donation, selling each car in a competitive bidding environment.

You can deduct the value of your vehicle only if you itemize deductions when filing your taxes. Under the current IRS law, you may only deduct the actual sale price of your vehicle or $500 whichever is greater. A receipt indicating the sale price and date will be sent to you within 30 days from the date of pick up.
