Here are some of the frequently asked questions we receive regarding Vehicle Donations. We hope this helps you understand our Vehicle Donation Program.
Q: What can I donate?
A: You may donate cars, trucks and vans.
Q: Is my donation tax deductible?
A: Yes, OUTREACH is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Please consult with your tax attorney or accountant to determine how you will personally benefit from the donation.
Q: My car hasn't run in years. Can I still donate it?
A: We accept all vehicles, running or not. Please note that the condition of the auto will affect the fair market value of your donation.
Q: Where will you pick up vehicles?
A: We pick up vehicles in Santa Clara County, California.
Q: How is the value of my car determined?
A: When the vehicle is sold you will receive a receipt for the sale price within 30 days of the sale of the vehicle. According to IRS rules you may claim up to $500.00 with the original receipt but anything over $500.00 must have the sales receipt.
Q: How much of my donation actually goes to OUTREACH?
A: OUTREACH splits the net proceeds from the sale of the vehicle with another non-profit organization in Santa Clara County. All of the net proceeds go to the two non-profits instead of a profit auto broker.
