Does my vehicle have to be running to qualify for donation?
No, but the vehicle must have an engine and be towable. However, cars that are in extremely poor condition or far from our tow range may cost more to tow than the value of the vehicle. If this is the case, FCCO may not receive any dollars from your vehicle.
Do you accept only cars?
No, if it has wheels, flies or floats we can accept it!
What paperwork do I need?
The only paperwork needed is a signed title (pink slip). However, if the title (pink slip) is not available, a lost title search can be done.
Do I get a receipt for my donation?
Yes, our driver will issue a receipt at the time of pick-up. This is not your final tax receipt. The initial acknowledgement will indicate your name, the year, make and model and the condition of the vehicle you are donating.A final acknowledgement will be mailed to you within 30 days of the sale. The amount of gross proceeds received from your vehicle will be listed on this receipt. This will be your receipt for your charitable contribution.
What can I claim as a deduction?
Due to recent IRS updates to the rules regarding vehicle donations and the amount of the deduction that can be claimed, we recommend that you refer to IRS Publication 4303 "A Donor's Guide to Vehicle Donations," which can be found at www.irs.gov, or contact your tax advisor to determine the amount of your tax deduction.
What does FCCO do with the donated vehicles?
The vehicles are sold at auction. The funds from vehicle donations are used to produce quality educational and entertainment programs and support our outreach efforts in the community.
Do I have to be with the vehicle at the time of pick-up?
No. Special arrangements can be made when you talk with the tow company.
How much money will FCCO receive?
It varies. However, after towing and administrative costs FCCO will receive the remainder of the proceeds from the sale of the car.
