Why Donate Your Vehicle

Simple for You. Life-Changing for Them.

Donating a vehicle is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to support our work — and it takes less time than selling it yourself.

🚛

Free Pickup

We arrange and pay for towing anywhere in the Antelope Valley and surrounding areas. You never pay a cent.

📑

Tax Deductible

As an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3), your donation is fully tax-deductible. We provide all required documentation.

🔧

Running or Not

Working, broken, old, or damaged — we accept vehicles in nearly any condition. No repairs needed.

💕

Supports Children

Proceeds fund food recovery, student success programs, youth enrichment, and family assistance right here at home.

How It Works

Four Simple Steps

Most donors finish the process in under ten minutes. We handle everything else.

1

Fill Out the Form

Tell us about your vehicle — make, model, year, and condition. It takes about five minutes online, or call us and we will do it with you over the phone.

2

Schedule Your Pickup

We contact you within 1–2 business days to arrange a free tow at a time that works for you. No need to be there in most cases.

3

Hand Over the Title

Sign the title over at pickup. If you cannot find your title, call us — we can often help you sort it out with the DMV.

4

Receive Your Receipt

We mail your tax-deductible acknowledgment, plus IRS Form 1098-C when the vehicle sells for more than $500.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

If you do not see your question here, give us a call at (661) 434-8857 — we are happy to walk you through it.

No. We accept vehicles whether they run or not. Many donated vehicles have mechanical problems, body damage, or high mileage — they still generate value that supports our programs. Please be honest about the condition on the form so we can send the right kind of tow truck.

It depends on what the vehicle sells for. If it sells for more than $500, you may generally deduct the actual sale price, and we will send you IRS Form 1098-C. If it sells for $500 or less, you may generally claim up to $500 or the fair market value, whichever is lower. We do not provide vehicle valuations — please consult a qualified tax professional about your specific situation.

Call us at (661) 434-8857 before you give up. In California, a duplicate title can usually be requested through the DMV, and in some situations we can accept a vehicle with alternative documentation. We will tell you honestly whether your specific case will work.

Yes. Towing is arranged and paid for by the Foundation and our towing partners. There is no cost to you at any point in the process, and you will never be asked for a payment or a fee.

We typically contact you within 1–2 business days of receiving your form, and pickup is usually scheduled within a week. Your tax receipt is mailed after the vehicle is sold, which can take a few weeks depending on auction timing.

Usually not. As long as the signed title and keys are arranged ahead of time and the vehicle is accessible, we can often complete pickup without you being there. We will confirm the details with you when we schedule.

Absolutely. We welcome business and fleet donations, and we can coordinate multiple vehicles at once. Contact us at give@theinfinitehopefoundation.org or call (661) 434-8857 to discuss the details and any recognition you would like.
