Are You Looking for Ways to Help Make Pittsburgh a Better Place?
Since 2005, Goodwill Car Donations has been leading the way to provide those in our communities with a new path forward. And it all starts with you. You can go through the extended troubles of trying to list and sell your car, but donating a car to us will provide someone in need with new opportunities and hope. Learn how we make donating your car simple and easy, as well as the benefits it offers to you. When you’re ready to donate your car, give us a call at 866-233-8586!
Thank you for donating your car. You will be helping us improve the living conditions for disadvantaged people in Pittsburgh. These are men and women facing challenges such as physical or mental disabilities, a lack of education or job skills, long-term welfare dependency, and other barriers to finding work.
We will sell your donated vehicle and use the proceeds to fund critical programs. These programs break down barriers and help people reach their full potential through job training and the power of work. This support builds dignity and enhances their quality of life.
Your donation supports the Goodwill Car Donations programs serving Pennsylvania. We provide our beneficiaries with job training, employment opportunities, career guidance, and other vital community support services.
Through these services, people gain practical skills that empower them to secure good jobs. This enables them to build stable, independent lives. As these once idle individuals become productive workers, they become contributors to the growth and progress of their community. And it’s all thanks to you!
What are the Top Reasons for Making a Car Donation?
Aside from the joy and fulfillment you would feel for helping the needy residents of your city, you’ll also enjoy these fantastic rewards:
- Free towing! You can have your car hauled off your property by professional tow trucks at no cost to you.
- No stressful paperwork! Our team will handle every piece of documentation that’s required for tax purposes as well as for the transfer of ownership while you wait.
- Maximized tax deduction! We’ll have your vehicle auctioned off for the highest price possible so you can claim the highest possible tax deduction from your donation.
- More storage spaces! Removing your clunker from your garage will give room for your new car.
- More savings!
You can finally be free from shelling out money to pay for the repair, maintenance, registration, and insurance of your car.
Is This an Easy and Simple Donation Process?
Donating your car is easier than it sounds. With your convenience and safety in mind, we’ve come up with a seamless donation process that guarantees an awesome giving experience. Here’s a look at our simple three-step donation process:
- Reach out to us.
To start your donation process, either call us at 866-233-8586 or fill out our online donation form. Whatever method you choose, you can expect us to act right away. - Schedule your vehicle’s FREE pickup.
Once we’ve confirmed the information you shared in your online donation application, we’ll call you to ask you when and where you want us to pick up your vehicle. We’ll then send a licensed tow truck to haul off your vehicle at no cost to you. We’ll issue you a towing receipt before taking away your vehicle. This document releases you from any liability on your vehicle from that point forward. You can use it to cancel your car’s registration and insurance coverage. - Get your tax-deductible receipt.
Within 30 days following the sale of your vehicle, we’ll send you your 100-percent tax-deductible sales receipt by mail or email. You will need this receipt to claim your tax write-off when you file your itemized federal income tax return in the next tax season.

Beyond Donating, How Else Can I Help My Community?
Your vehicle donation is a great way to make a difference in your community. But if you’re looking for more ways to get involved and assist Pittsburg residents directly, the City of Pittsburg Volunteer initiatives is the perfect place to begin. This government-branch initiative provides you with the opportunity to help with local municipal efforts and connect you with a wide range of volunteer services for underserved neighborhoods throughout the city.
You can also get involved with the Allegheny County Department of Human Services. They are responsible for a broad range of social programs for low-income families, senior citizens, refugees, and other groups in need. There are many ways you can volunteer, including assistance in tax help for low-wage workers and holiday gift drives. They have a robust organization designed to provide for populations vulnerable to poverty.
