Donate Your Car

Support NPT by donating your unwanted car, motorcycle, boat or RV. When you make a donation, your vehicle is resold at an auto auction and the proceeds help to support NPT programming.

To donate call Vehicles for Charity at this toll-free number:
1-877-308-2408

What can I donate?
NPT accepts cars, trucks, motorcycles, and recreational vehicles. Most vehicles are accepted, except those that are heavily damaged or incomplete. The NPT Donation program accepts vehicle donations in the NPT viewing area - in middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky.

Are car donations tax-deductible?
Yes, your donation qualifies as a charitable deduction on your federal income tax return because NPT is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

How do I donate a car?
Call 1-877-308-2408 to make your donation.

Have ready:

  • the title to your car
  • location of your car
  • general condition of your car

This information assists the tow company in scheduling appropriate towing arrangements.

My car does not run. Can I still donate it?
The location and the condition of your car determine whether it can be accepted for resale.

Will you pick up my car?
NPT will send a tow truck to pick up your vehicle.

The driver will need:

  • the car keys
  • the title to your car
  • your signature authorizing the tow

A tow receipt will be given to you by the driver-verifying that your vehicle was received on behalf of NPT.

How is the value of my vehicle donation determined?
Beginning January 1, 2005, the IRS allows you to take a charitable tax deduction on your federal income tax equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of your donated vehicle.

When your car has been sold at an auto auction, NPT will send you an acknowledgement letter indicating the gross proceeds of the sale. This letter will serve as a donation receipt for your tax purposes.
