How Does Donating Your Car Help Charity?

Since 2005, Goodwill Car Donations has made it simple to give back to people who need it most. Here you’ll learn how donating your car in Maryland is fast, free, and rewarding, giving you tax benefits while funding programs that create jobs and strengthen local communities.

You can make a difference right here in Maryland by donating that old boat in the harbor or that beat-up car in your garage to a worthy local charity!

It’s true that Maryland ranks among the wealthiest states in the nation, but that’s only part of the picture. While this Mid-Atlantic state is well known for the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis and its famous blue crabs and soft clams, many Maryland communities still struggle with poverty.

Out of the state’s six million residents, one in three faces hunger and food insecurity each year. Children without access to healthy meals, unemployed adults, and minorities living in poverty all need more support than they currently receive. You have the power to make a real difference.

Even better, you can do it quickly and easily. By donating a vehicle you no longer want or need, you let us take care of all the details. In doing so, you provide funding that allows our organization to deliver vital programs and support to people who need it most.

At Goodwill Car Donations in Maryland, we accept a wide variety of vehicles – cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, motorcycles, motor homes, campers, riding lawn mowers, boats, airplanes, and even personal watercraft.

Every donated vehicle is auctioned, and the proceeds go directly toward helping marginalized members of the community. You clear out an old clunker, earn a valuable tax deduction, and help change someone’s life at the same time. What could be better than that?

How Can I Donate a Vehicle to Charity?

Donating a car in Maryland couldn’t be easier. When you’re ready to part with a used auto, we make the process incredibly easy. Simply fill out our online donation form or call our 24/7 operators at our toll-free number: 1-866-233-8586.

Then one of our local towing partners will come pick up your vehicle within 24 to 48 hours, at no expense to you, and you’ll get a tax deduction receipt in the mail a few days later. That’s it.

As soon as you sign over your vehicle’s title, we’ll even send you a receipt that you can forward to the Maryland DMV to deregister the vehicle and to your personal insurance company to cancel coverage.

Why Should I Choose Goodwill Car Donations for My Vehicle Donations in Maryland?

Let’s be honest: that old car sitting around isn’t helping you. Instead of paying to store, repair, or insure it, why not put it to good use through our Maryland car donation program? No matter the condition, your donation can make a real difference.

We auction donated vehicles and use the proceeds to support local job-training programs across Maryland. These programs give people the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to find steady work. Your donation helps create brighter futures right in your own community.

As an added bonus, you could qualify for a nice tax deduction. At Goodwill Car Donations, we’re dedicated to empowering Maryland residents with training and employment opportunities that boost the economy and strengthen neighborhoods. When you donate a car, you’re not just clearing space – you’re changing lives.

How Soon Can My Car Be Picked Up?

Once you schedule your donation, most cars are picked up within a few days at no cost to you. Our team works to make the process simple and convenient. When you donate, you provide hope to those who struggle while also clearing space at home.

Do I Need To Be Present When My Car Is Towed?

You don’t always need to be there at pickup. As long as the keys and signed title are left in an accessible spot, our towing partner can handle the rest. This makes it easy for you to change lives with your generosity without rearranging your schedule.

What Paperwork Do I Need To Donate a Car?

You’ll need your vehicle title and registration to start the donation process. If you’re missing these, our team can often guide you through obtaining replacements. Having the paperwork ready helps you lend a hand to your community more quickly while ensuring everything is processed smoothly.

Can I Donate Without a Title or if There Is a Lien?

In many cases, you can still donate even without a title or if a lien is attached. Our staff will walk you through the requirements for your state. By working with us, you can support charitable programs that provide training, jobs, and brighter opportunities.
