How We Help Disadvantaged People?
When you donate your rusty old beater to us, you’ll set yourself up for a cost-free and nearly effortless method of vehicle disposal. At the same time, you’ll make a big difference in the lives of people in need in Indianapolis.
We’ll have your donated vehicle sold at auction, with the proceeds going straight to Goodwill Car Donations organizations in Indiana to support their critical mission-focused programs. These nonprofits provide their beneficiaries in your community with life-transforming benefits such as job training, career development, scholarships, youth employment, disability benefits support, and other community services.
Thanks to your car donation, formerly jobless individuals can support themselves and their families and become productive community members.
How You Can Take Part in Car Donation
We take pride in our seamless donation process that takes just a few minutes to start. Our team handles everything, including free towing and all required paperwork.
Contact Us
You can jumpstart your vehicle donation by giving us a call at 866-233-8586 or filling out our secure online donation form. Give us basic details about your vehicle and your contact information.
Schedule your vehicle’s free towing
After verifying the information you shared with us, we’ll call you back to set up a schedule for your vehicle’s towing that’s convenient for you. We’ll send a licensed tow truck to collect your vehicle. You won’t have to pay for towing because it’s absolutely free!
When your vehicle is accepted, the tow truck driver will give you a towing receipt. You can use this to cancel your vehicle’s insurance coverage and DMV registration.
You receive your tax-deductible receipt
We’ll coordinate with our nationwide network of vehicle liquidation vendors to have your car auctioned off. We’ll go the extra mile to ensure your vehicle is sold at an auction house for the highest possible price. This way, you can obtain the maximum tax deduction for your donation.
Once your vehicle is sold, we’ll mail you a 100% tax-deductible sales receipt. You can use this receipt to claim your tax deduction when you file your itemized tax return in the next tax season.
