Frequently Asked Questions
 

What can I donate?
We accept most cars, trucks, trailers, boats and RVs

Is my donation tax deductible?
The Hirshberg Foundation is classified with the IRS as non-profit 501 (c)(3) charitable organization so your donation is tax deductible. Individual tax situations vary so please check with a tax professional to determine how you may benefit.

What do I need to provide?
Besides the car, we would like the title to the vehicle, but if you do not have it please call us anyway. It is possible that other arrangements may be made.

My car hasn't run in years. Can I still donate it?
Yes, most vehicles are accepted, running or not (exceptions include older vehicles whose value would not offset the cost of towing). 

Can you pick up vehicles in all 50 states?
It is possible to pick up most vehicles in the continental U.S. and Hawaii.

How does my tax deduction work?
The IRS allows you, the taxpayer, to claim a tax deduction of (a) the value of your vehicle up to $500 or (b) if your vehicle sells for more than $500, then Car Program LLC will mail you a postcard with that value for your tax purposes.

For additional information, the IRS provides a Donor’s Guide to Car Donations which sets forth the manner in which the IRS requires you to determine the value of your donated property.  Here is a link to IRS Publication 4303 — A Donor’s Guide to Car Donations (PDF 179K).  You need Adobe Reader to view this file - click here to download the free Reader.
