Do your part to make Minnesota an even better place to live by donating your vehicle in MN through Goodwill Car Donations! Every time you contribute to charity by donating a car, you’re helping us provide programs that remove barriers and create opportunities for people in need. Your old car becomes a resource for someone trying to build a stable and independent life.

We accept working or nonworking cars, trucks, SUVs, RVs, motorcycles, boats, planes and more. From Ford and Chevrolet to Dodge and beyond, if it has wheels and an engine, we can take it. The proceeds from your donation go straight toward helping local programs that empower Minnesotans to find jobs, gain confidence and improve their lives.

When you donate to a cause through Goodwill, you don’t just give away an old vehicle. You share with those in need and become part of something bigger: a stronger, more connected community.

All you need is your vehicle title. If you can’t find it, let us know. We’ll help you secure a replacement quickly. You don’t need to worry about handling any additional paperwork; we’ll take care of everything for you.

Can I Donate a Vehicle That Isn’t Registered in My Name?

In most cases, the vehicle must be registered under your name. However, exceptions can be made if you have legal documentation showing your authority to donate. Contact us directly to review your situation, and we’ll help you determine what’s possible.
