This holiday season, donate your vehicle to support veterans

With temperatures going down and holiday decorations going up, the end of the year will be here before we know it. And if you have a car or other vehicle no longer being used, the season of giving is the perfect time to donate your vehicle to support a cause you care about — like helping our nation’s veterans. 

That’s because vehicle donations qualify for a tax deduction. When you donate your vehicle to DAV (Disabled American Veterans), we’ll take care of the paperwork and provide all the tax documentation you need to get your deduction. 

DAV works to get the highest return per vehicle for you. You may claim a tax deduction on the fair market value of your vehicle up to $500 on your donation even if your vehicle sells for less. If your vehicle is sold for more than $500, the maximum amount of your deduction will be the sales price.

DAV accepts vehicle donations of all types, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, boats, airplanes, heavy equipment, farm machinery and most other motorized vehicles — whether they run or not. 

And when you choose to donate your car to DAV, you avoid the hassle of selling or repairing it. Instead, your vehicle turns into a new beginning that fuels the future for veterans who have served and sacrificed for our country. 

DAV is proud to be a critical lifeline for more than 1 million veterans each year. And your generous auto donation will provide essential support for DAV’s free, life-changing programs for ill and injured veterans. That’s one incredible way to support America’s heroes this holiday season.
