New York Vehicle Donation
Donate a Car in New York and Support Veterans
Statewide New York pickup at no cost, and every donation is tax-deductible.
A vehicle you no longer drive can do real work for veterans in New York. Veterans Car Donation arranges free pickup across the state — from New York City, Buffalo, Rochester and Albany to the small towns in between — and turns the vehicle into support for Veterans Care Charity.
You never pay for the tow, never need to fix the vehicle first, and are never committed until you say yes on the phone.

Where a New York donation goes
Veterans Car Donation is the vehicle-donation program of Veterans Care Charity, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2012 and based in Las Vegas, NV.
Money raised from New York vehicles funds meals, clothing and shelter assistance for veterans through the charity's outreach and advocacy work.
"Veterans Care Charity is committed to improving the lives of our American heroes, the Veterans. Through outreach and advocacy, we can make a difference."
Free pickup in New York
Pickup in New York is arranged around your schedule, and the tow itself costs you nothing.
Coordinators cover New York and the surrounding area, including New York City, Buffalo and Rochester.
What we accept in New York
If it has wheels or a hull, it is probably welcome. New York donors regularly hand over cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, RVs and boats.
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.
Tax deduction details for New York donors
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.
Keep the receipt handed to you at pickup with your New York tax records; Form 1098-C follows by mail when it applies.
