What we accept in Fairbanks

Condition is rarely the deciding factor. Vehicles from Fairbanks arrive running, barely running and not running at all, and all three are useful.

A failed inspection, body damage, a dead battery or years parked in the same spot will not disqualify a donation. If you are unsure, note it on the form and a coordinator will confirm before pickup.

Three steps to donate your vehicle in Fairbanks

From the first form to the final paperwork, a Fairbanks donation moves in three steps.

Tell us about the vehicle — the short form takes about 60 seconds, or call (855) 681-1155 and a coordinator will take the details by phone.
Schedule free pickup — a coordinator calls to arrange towing at a time that suits you, wherever the vehicle sits in Fairbanks.
Receive your paperwork — you get a donation receipt at pickup, plus IRS Form 1098-C if the vehicle sells for more than $500.
