Car Donation Program
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I donate?
We accept most vehicles and vessels including but not limited to cars, trucks, trailers, boats and RV's.
My car hasn't run in years. Can I still donate it?
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 contact St. Barnabas Planned Giving at 724-444-5508.
What do I need to donate my vehicle?
We would like the title to the vehicle, but if you do not have it please call us anyway at 724-444-5508. It is possible that other arrangements may be available.
Can you pick up vehicles in all 50 states?
Yes, we are able to pick up accepted vehicles in the continental U.S. and Hawaii.
How will my vehicle be picked up?
We will arrange to have your vehicle towed away by a professionally licensed, bonded and insured towing company.
How long will it take to pick up my car?
We will arrange for a towing company to contact you via telephone within three to four business days. If you need your car picked up sooner, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
Is my donation tax deductible?
Yes, vehicle and vessel donations made to bona fide charitable organization is tax deductible to the full extent of the law. However, individual tax situations vary so please check with a tax professional to determine what tax benefit you may receive from a tax deductible donation.
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. Here is a link to IRS Publication 4303 - A donors' guide to car donations.
