Running or not: what qualifies in New York City

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

Mechanical failure, missing parts and cosmetic damage are all common. Describe the vehicle honestly on the form and the coordinator will tell you exactly what to expect.

Your New York City donation is tax-deductible

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.

You never have to chase the paperwork — the receipt comes at pickup and any additional IRS form follows once the vehicle is processed.
