Categories we accept
Donated cars are typically auctioned off, providing the best value for the donor and supporting local initiatives. If unable to be sold, parts are recycled to maximize the vehicle's potential.

Condition guide
When it comes to donating your vehicle, we accept both running and non-running cars. If your vehicle is running, that’s fantastic! It can fetch a higher auction price, maximizing the funds we raise for our benefits-research service. If it’s not running, don’t worry! Many vehicles that are inoperable still have value. They can be dismantled for parts or recycled, which directly supports our mission.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind regarding title statuses. If your vehicle has a salvage title but is still operational, we can still accept it. Vehicles with rebuilt or reconstructed titles are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, while those with a lienholder present may require additional steps. Missing titles can complicate the donation, but we can advise you on possible solutions.
Title status
| Title status | Accepted? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| clean title | yes | Clean titles are straightforward and easily accepted; they provide the best opportunity for auction value. |
| salvage | with restrictions | Salvage titles are accepted if the vehicle is running; otherwise, we evaluate on a case-by-case basis. |
| rebuilt/reconstructed | case-by-case | Rebuilt or reconstructed titles may qualify, but we need to examine the vehicle's condition before acceptance. |
| lienholder present | case-by-case | If there’s a lien on the vehicle, we advise resolving it prior to donation to facilitate the process. |
| missing title | with restrictions | A missing title can complicate the donation process, but we can guide you through possible solutions. |
