Donate Your Car in Richmond, Virginia

How donating a car in Richmond works

From the first form to the final paperwork, a Richmond 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 Richmond.
• Receive your paperwork — you get a donation receipt at pickup, plus IRS Form 1098-C if the vehicle sells for more than $500.

Paperwork and tax deduction in Richmond

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.
