Vehicles for Charity

Do you want a big, year-end tax benefit?… that’s also a way to help Holy Family Radio?  Donate ANY car, truck, motorcycle, RV or boat.  It’s fast, free… better than a low trade-in price or high repair costs… and you’ll get a big thank you from us!

The Vehicles For Charity (VFC) program is run by the Metropolitan Association For Retarded Citizens (MARC), a Colorado 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization.

By partnering with Vehicles for Charity, Holy Family Radio will receive 70% of the profit for every vehicle donated to us through this program and sold at public auction.  MARC receives the other 30% for its client programs.

VFC, which started in 2001, processes vehicles for more than 400 charities nationwide, including non-profit radio stations like Holy Family Radio.  It handles all details of the vehicle donation process… towing, auction, sale and distribution of proceeds.

To begin, just click on the following link and submit your contact and vehicle information.  VFC will coordinate with an appropriate auto auction to arrange for a convenient pick-up time.  You can also get started by calling 1-866-628-2277.

Frequently Asked Questions:

 

What can I donate?

You can donate most any vehicle, including cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles and recreational vehicles. They do not have to be currently running. Your vehicle donation will be sold at an auction or to salvage depending on condition.

 

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Yes, Holy Family Radio is a non-profit organization and all donations qualify as a charitable deduction on your federal income tax return.

 

What do I need to donate my car?

The title to the car must be in your name. We will also need some information about where the car is located and the condition of the car. This will assist us in scheduling appropriate towing arrangements.

 

Will you pick up my car?

A towing company will call you to schedule the pick-up of your vehicle. You will need to give the driver the keys to the vehicle as well as your signed title.

 

How is the value of my car determined?

The IRS allows you to take a charitable tax deduction on your federal income tax form equal to the amount the vehicle sells for at auction unless it sells for less than $500. If your vehicle sells for less than $500 you may deduct no more than $500. If your vehicle sells for more than $500, you will need to include the IRS form 1098C. Vehicles for Charity will supply this documentation after your vehicle sells. We recommend you consult your tax advisor with questions about your deduction.
