When a vehicle is donated to benefit Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP), the donor receives a tax deduction and the money from its sale will help provide life-changing programs to injured veterans and their families.
NCS Vehicle Donations makes the donation process easy and will pick up vehicles in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Most types of vehicles will be accepted even if they no longer run.
Besides each donation helping injured veterans, here are three additional benefits of donating a vehicle to Wounded Warrior Project.

Donors or someone assisting them can skip the hassle of selling the vehicle by scheduling a fast, free pickup at a time and place convenient for them.
You save the cost of maintenance, insurance, registration fees, and costly repairs.
Donating a vehicle to benefit WWP is tax deductible. Donors receive an acknowledgment letter and tax receipt once their vehicle has been sold.
If a vehicle sells for less than $500, a donor may claim the selling price or the vehicle’s fair market value up to $500.
If a vehicle sells for more than $500, a donor can claim the exact amount for which it sold.
To claim a tax deduction, a donor must itemize a tax deduction on their tax return and submit documentation in the form of a written acknowledgment letter (we provide this to the donor at the time of pickup and again once the vehicle is sold) and/or certain tax forms (we can provide these to the donor upon request, such as Tax Form 1098-C).
We recommend that donors consult a tax advisor as well as the IRS for more specific information about charitable contributions.
