To start, all you need to do is fill out an online application or give us a call! We will forward your information to a local towing company and they will call you right away to pickup your donation. You will receive a donation receipt and if your donation sells for more than $500 you will receive an IRS Tax Form 1098C.

Every vehicle donated to Patriotic Hearts helps fund programs that help put Veterans to work, including starting their own business!

Your vehicle donation or vessel donation qualifies as a tax deduction. If the market value of your donated car or boat is less than $500, all you will need to take a deduction is your donation receipt. If your donated car, truck, van, SUV, boat, etc, sells for more than $500 we will send you an IRS Form 1098C and you may write off the value of your donated item up to the full sale price.

Sometimes it can be picked up the same day you call! You will receive a call from the towing company within 24 hours. Let them know when its convenient for you to have the car picked up. Let them know if you are in a hurry and they will make arrangements to schedule you for pickup as quickly as possible, sometimes that can be the same day!

Most donated vehicles and vessels are towed. We work with over 100 auctions around the country to insure the highest sale price. The auction will transfer title of the vehicle in accordance with the local state regulations.

The auction house will transfer title to the buyer, who will then be responsible for any liability. Some states require that you file a notice, such as, Release of Liability, transfer of Ownership, etc. with the state department that handles motor vehicles. You may need to contact the  Department of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Revenue, or other state agencies to show that ownership has been transferred. We recommend that you file that form. In some states you are responsible to return the license plates and/or notify your insurance company. We suggest you follow recommended procedures in your state.
