Condition & logistics
Running vs. Non-Running
We accept trucks in any condition—running or not. Even if your truck has seen better days, it can still make a difference. We'll ensure it gets to those who need it.
Title Issues
Worried about title complexities? Don't be! We handle all paperwork, even if your title is lost or has minor issues. Your donation won't be held up due to title concerns.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
Whether your truck is parked in a garage or on the street, we manage the logistics for you. Schedule a pickup that fits your timetable, and we handle the rest!
Title transfer & paperwork
Transferring the title for your truck in Indiana is straightforward, especially with our help. You’ll need to fill out the Indiana Vehicle Title Application (Form 44237) and sign the title over to us. Notarization is required, so we recommend visiting a local bank or notary public. Don’t forget to remove your plate; you can return it to the BMV or transfer it to a new vehicle. Let us help simplify the process!
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your truck, you might qualify for a deduction ranging from $500 to the vehicle's fair market value, depending on its condition and the sale process. We’ll provide IRS Form 1098-C, which confirms your donation value for tax purposes. Always consult a tax advisor to understand how much you can claim based on your situation.
Local context — Indianapolis
In Indianapolis, trucks are more than just vehicles; they're part of our identity. Many come from hardworking neighborhoods like Beech Grove or Lawrence, where trucks are essential for both personal and professional life. Life changes, like relocating for a new job in the tech corridor or downsizing after retirement, often spark donations. The local culture values community and gives back, making it a perfect place to contribute your vehicle. Whether it's a truck you’ve used for running errands or a workhorse that saw countless miles, your donation can have a lasting impact.
