2.  My car hasn't run in years. Can I still donate it?
A:  Yes, we are able to accept most vehicles running or not (exceptions include older vehicles whose value would not offset the cost of towing).  To find out if we can accept your vehicle, please complete and submit our online donation form.

3.  What do I need to donate my vehicle?

A:  Yes, we are able to pick up accepted vehicles in the continental U.S. and Hawaii.

5.  How will my car be picked up?

6.  How long will it take to pick up my car?
A:  We will arrange for a towing company to contact you via telephone within three to four business days at the latest.  If you need your car picked up sooner, please let us know as we are oftentimes able to accommodate rush orders as well. 

7.  Is my donation tax deductible?
A:  Yes, vehicle and vessel donations made to bona fide charitable organizations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.  We have verified that all charities listed within this site are classified with the IRS as non-profit charitable organizations.  However, individual tax situations vary so please check with a tax professional to determine what if any tax benefit you may receive from a tax deductible donation.

8.  How does my tax deduction work?
A:  The IRS allows you, the taxpayer, to claim a tax deduction of (a) the value of your vehicle up to $500 or (b) if we sell the vehicle for more than $500 we will mail you a postcard with that value for your tax purposes.

For additional information, the IRS provides a Donor's Guide to Car Donations which sets forth the manner in which the IRS requires you to determine the value of your donated property.

Founded in 1868, the MSPCA-Angell protects and cares for 250,000 animals per year - more than any other humane society in the nation. We are a private, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization and receive no government funding at all, instead relying on the generosity of people who care deeply about helping animals. Our mission is to protect animals, relieve their suffering, advance their health and welfare, prevent cruelty and work for a just and compassionate society. In support of this mission, we operate two world-class, nonprofit Angell Animal Medical Centers and seven MSPCA Animal Care and Adoption Centers statewide. Thank you for your support!
