Donate Your Motorcycle For Charity 

Since 2015, Goodwill Car Donations has helped communities by turning unwanted vehicles into real support for people in need. When you donate your motorcycle, you help fund job training, employment programs, and other local services that give people a second chance. Your old bike can do something powerful. It can help change lives in your community. That’s why donating it is more than just getting rid of something you no longer use. It’s a way to give your motorcycle a meaningful goodbye while making a real difference for others. 

Here you will learn everything you need to know about how to donate your motorcycle. We explain how the simple three-step process works, how free pickup makes it easy, and how you get a tax deduction in return. You’ll see that we accept all kinds of motorcycles, even if they don’t run. We also take other vehicles like RVs, boats, and ATVs in case you want to donate more than one. You’ll find out how we handle all the paperwork for you and make sure your donation helps people in your own community. If you’re ready to let go of your motorbike and do some good, this page will show you how to get started. 

Every passionate rider knows the thrill of the open road. But no ride lasts forever. If it’s time to say goodbye to your old motorcycle, donating it is one of the most impactful ways to let it go. Instead of letting it sit unused, your chopper can help someone start a new chapter. 

What Happens When I Donate Through Goodwill? 

When you donate your motorcycle to Goodwill Car Donations, your vehicle becomes a force for good. We’ll auction it off and use the proceeds to support your local Goodwill organizations. These organizations are IRS-certified 501(c)(3) nonprofits that offer job training, employment assistance, education programs, and more to disadvantaged individuals in your community. 

How Do I Donate My Motorcycle to Goodwill? 

Donating your motorcycle is easy and stress-free. Just follow these three quick steps: 

• STEP 1: Contact us: You have two options in making your motorcycle donation — over the phone or online. Call 866-233-8586 or fill out our online donation form. We’ll ask for a few details like the make, model, year, VIN, working condition, and title status of your motorcycle. 
• STEP 2: Schedule your motorcycle’s FREE pickup: Once we review your info, we’ll schedule a free pickup at a time and place that works for you. A licensed towing crew will come get your motorcycle. You’ll receive a towing receipt that releases you from all responsibility. You can then cancel your insurance and de-register your bike. 
• STEP 3: Receive your tax-deductible receipt: After we receive your motorcycle, we’ll auction it off and try to get the best price. That helps us maximize your tax deduction. Within 30 days of the sale, we’ll send you a 100% tax-deductible receipt by mail or email. Use it when filing your itemized federal tax return.
