Vehicle Donations
You can donate your used car to invest in Thinkery’s work to build a world where ALL children cultivate a lifelong love of learning and thrive! Learn more about Thinkery’s new vehicle donation program below.
How it works
Getting started with your vehicle donation is easy! Call 855-500-7433 or fill out this form, and we’ll take care of the rest, including pick–up, at no cost to you. Once your vehicle has been sold, you’ll be sent a receipt for your tax records, and the proceeds will be donated to Thinkery in your name.
FAQs
What types of vehicles do you accept as donations?
We accept most cars, trucks, vans, fleet vehicles, trailers, boats, motorcycles, and RV’s. If you have any questions about what you can donate, please call us toll-free at 855-500-7433.
Does my vehicle have to be running to donate it?
In some cases we can take your car, running or not. However, it must have an engine and be towable. Contact a representative at 855-500-7433 to find out if your vehicle qualifies for pick up.
What paperwork do I need?
The only paperwork needed is a signed, clear title. Have your title with you when you call-in your donation. [Please note: a clear title indicates the title is in the name of the donor without a lien.]
How will my car be picked up?
We will arrange to have your vehicle towed away on a scheduled date previously agreed upon with you. We will NOT pick up a vehicle without first contacting you. Please call 855-500-7433 or fill out this form to schedule a pick up time.
Will I get a tax receipt for my donation?
Yes, our driver will issue a receipt at the time of pick-up. This is not your final tax receipt unless the sale of your vehicle does not exceed $500. This initial acknowledgment will indicate your name as well as the year, make, model, and condition of the car you are donating. It will be your only receipt if your vehicle sells for less than $500.
If you donate a car that is worth more than $500.00, your deduction will be limited to the actual sale price of your car donation. If your vehicle is sold, all proceeds will benefit Thinkery. You will be provided with a receipt stating the final sales price of your vehicle within 30 days of the sale of your donated car.
As a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
