How Wheels For Wishes Car Donations Work

It can be difficult to determine which charity is most deserving of your generous car donation. For transparency sake, we'll show you how Wheels For Wishes car donations work, so you know more to make your decision.

  • You donate your car or other vehicle donations to Wheels For Wishes. You can do this by phone at 1-855-278-9474 or with our online donation form.
  • Within 24 hours of the next business day, we schedule a convenient time to pick up your generous car donation for free. That's right, we come to you and pick up vehicle donations for free!
  • We auction or work with licensed auto recyclers for your vehicle. We do not donate a car directly to Make-A-Wish. Our experienced team auctions your car donation to get the most possible value for both Make-A-Wish and your tax deduction. An auction is a reliable way to get an independent appraisal for the highest value of your car donation.
  • If we end up selling your vehicle for under $500, you can claim the fair market value up to $500.
  • After the process of donating your car is complete, we send the proceeds to Make-A-Wish support their mission with a significant contribution! Donating your car goes a long way to support organizations like Make-A-Wish.
  • After your car donation is complete, we also send you a written receipt that reflects how much your car sold for! You can use this tax receipt on IRS form 1098-c to claim your great tax deduction! A tax advisor can help with this process.
  • That's it! You donate a car, we auction it. The proceeds benefit Make-A-Wish. The value of your car donation is reflected on your tax-deductible written receipt.
