What can I donate?
We can accept most cars, trucks, vans, fleet vehicles, trailers, boats and RV's. If you have any questions about what you can donate,
Is my donation tax deductible?
Since AKFSO is classified with the IRS as non-profit 501 (c)(3) charitable organization, all vehicle donations may qualify as tax deductible. However, since individual tax situations are different, please check with your tax professional to determine how you may benefit.
How does my tax deduction work?
The IRS allows you, the taxpayer, to claim a tax deduction of (a) the value of your vehicle up to $500 or if we sell the vehicle for more than $500 we will mail you a postcard with that value for your tax purposes.
For additional information, the IRS provides a Donor's Guide to Car Donations IRS Publication 4304 which sets forth the manner in which the IRS requires you to determine the value of you donated property.
What do I need to do to donate my vehicle?
The title to the vehicle is most helpful, but if you do not have title papers, tell us why and we can make arrangements in most instances.
My car hasn't run in years. Can I still donate it?
Yes, we are able to accept most vehicles whether they run or not. However, the condition of your vehicle will affect the fair market value of your donation.
In what states can you pick up vehicles?
Most vehicles can be picked up throughout the continental US and Hawaii.
How will the car be picked up?
We will arrange to have your vehicle towed away at a scheduled time.
How long will it take to pick up my car?
Your car normally can be picked up within a few days. If you need your car picked up sooner, those arrangements can also be made.
