Your vehicle donation may qualify for a tax deduction. We provide IRS Form 1098-C, which allows you to claim the fair market value of your vehicle, provided it’s over $500. Consult with a tax professional for details.

Local context — San Francisco

In San Francisco, many residents face the challenge of having an old vehicle they no longer use.
