RV Donations: Help Us Spur Growth in Your Community

Your old RV might not hit the road anymore, but it can still go a long way in helping others. Since 2015, Goodwill Car Donations has been turning unwanted vehicles into support for people in need across the country. When you donate your RV, you free up space, avoid the hassle of selling and make life better for struggling families in your area. Keep reading to see how your donation helps your community, how easy the process is, what vehicles we accept and the many benefits that come with giving back.

 

Donating your camper helps fund trusted local organizations that offer life-changing services like job training, education and employment support. These programs directly help people facing hardship get back on their feet. Your compassion and empathy through a donation goes further than you think, and the results can be truly powerful.

 

When you donate a motorhome through our company, you help more people find steady work and build a better future. Your kindness can play a real part in ending poverty for someone nearby. Make a lasting difference in your neighborhood by turning your unused RV into something truly meaningful.

What Benefits Do I Get From Donating an RV?

Participating in our RV donations program can bring you a wide range of benefits. Here are some of them:

  • Enjoy a healthy tax write-off.
  • Experience a fast and hassle-free donation process without much effort on your end.
  • Get your RV hauled away without spending a dollar.
  • No need to stress over paperwork.
  • Skip the headaches and costs associated with the process of selling a used vehicle.
  • Free yourself from the financial burdens of owning an RV.
  • Provide more space for your garage or driveway.
  • Get the chance to be a hero in your community and inspire others to do the same.

How Does the Donation Process Work?

Donating is quick and simple. All you have to do is call us or fill out our online donation form. We’ll take care of the rest – including all the paperwork – so you can relax while doing something great.

 

Here’s a quick guide to the three-step donation process we follow in our RV donations program:

  1. Reach out to us.

Tell us your RV’s year, make, model, condition and where it’s located. Then we’ll schedule a time to pick it up for free. Just give us the full address or location, and we’ll handle towing through a trusted partner.

  1. We haul off your vehicle.

Be ready with your RV’s title and keys when we arrive. We’ll give you a towing receipt on the spot, which releases you from any further responsibility and lets you cancel insurance and registration.

  1. We send your tax deduction receipt.

Donating your RV qualifies you for a tax deduction. We’ll send your tax-deductible receipt within 30 days to help you file with ease.

What Types of RVs Do You Accept?

We accept all kinds of RVs – whether they run or not. As long as you can prove ownership, we’ll help. From Winnebagos to Airstreams, no matter the brand or condition, we’re ready to take it off your hands.

If you’re wondering what types of recreational vehicles we normally take in our RV donations program, here’s a list:

What should I do about the fuel in the tank?

When donating your RV to Goodwill Car Donations, it’s best to leave a minimal amount of fuel in the tank, just enough to allow for safe transportation. The towing company that picks up your RV does not require a full tank to move the vehicle, and having too much fuel could pose a safety risk. Aim to leave about a quarter tank or less. There’s no need to top off the fuel before pickup, as the organization does not reimburse for fuel costs and will handle any necessary preparations once the RV is received.

What if my RV isn’t registered or insured?

You can still donate your RV to Goodwill Car Donations even if it’s not currently registered or insured. While having these documents may simplify the process, they are not required, as long as you have the vehicle’s title or proof of ownership. If you’ve misplaced the title, the donation team can help guide you through the process of obtaining a replacement. Insurance is also not necessary since the RV will no longer be in use and will be transported by professionals. Just disclose the status when scheduling your donation to ensure a smooth handoff.

How Are Valuable Programs Supported by Donations?

The money raised from your RV helps fund programs through our trusted 501(c)(3) partners. These nonprofits offer job training, scholarship programs and employment services – all designed to help people move forward.

 

Even if your RV hasn’t been touched in years, it can still make a difference. It could be the key to helping someone gain financial stability. Our partners focus on long-term solutions by offering training, job search help, resume support and career guidance to make sure people succeed in the workforce.

 

Our partners also provide scholarships to help people finish high school or earn degrees, opening doors to better jobs and stronger futures. Some also offer financial aid, disability support and help for families. Everyone’s situation is different, so services are tailored to meet real needs.

 

Across the country, hunger and poverty affect millions of people. Many face job loss, low wages and rising housing costs. People with disabilities or chronic conditions are hit hardest, and discrimination often leaves minorities with fewer resources and opportunities.

 

The fight against poverty starts with all of us. Donating your RV to Goodwill Car Donations helps create real change. Your gift supports stronger neighborhoods and helps build a better, safer place for everyone.
