Coordinators cover Indianapolis and the surrounding area, including Fort Wayne, Evansville and South Bend.
Paperwork and tax deduction in Indianapolis
Your vehicle donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Veterans Care Charity is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. You will receive a donation receipt, and IRS Form 1098-C if your vehicle sells for more than $500. Please consult your tax advisor regarding your specific deduction.
The receipt you get at pickup is your first piece of documentation. If the vehicle sells above $500, Form 1098-C shows the gross sale amount for your return.
Running or not: what qualifies in Indianapolis
Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, RVs and boats are all accepted from Indianapolis — any make, any model, any condition.
You do not need to repair, clean or tow anything yourself. Tell us the condition as it is and the pickup is arranged around it.
