NSF Car Donation Program
|
Help NSF Save Lives!  Are you thinking of selling or trading in an old car, truck, boat or RV? Donate your vehicle to the National Sleep Foundation and you may receive a tax deduction. As a charitable contribution, your vehicle donation will help NSF's efforts to prevent drowsy driving and fall-asleep crashes, as well as support the Foundation’s overall mission to improve public health and safety by achieving understanding of sleep and sleep disorders.
The National Sleep Foundation works with Car Program Inc., a reputable car donation program, that will make all the arrangements to conveniently and quickly pick up your car donation at no cost to you. They handle the title transfer requirements and will provide you with a tax deductible donation receipt when they pick up your car.
To start the no-hassle donation process, simply fill out the donation form and fax it to (202) 347-3472. Need more information? View our most frequently asked questions below or call 1-800-237-5714.

A: 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. Please fill out and submit the donation form or call us toll-free at 1-800-237-5714.

A: We will arrange to have your vehicle towed away by a professionally licensed, bonded and insured towing company.
6. How long will it take to pick up my car?
A: We will arrange for a towing company to contact you via telephone within three to four business days at the latest. If you need your car picked up sooner, please let us know as many times we are able to accommodate rush orders as well.
7. Is my donation tax deductible?
A: Yes, vehicle and vessel donations made to bona fide charitable organizations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. We have verified that all charities listed within this site are classified with the IRS as non-profit charitable organizations. However, individual tax situations vary so please check with a tax professional to determine what if any tax benefit you may receive from a tax deductible donation.
8. How does my tax deduction work?
A: The IRS allows you, the taxpayer, to claim a tax deduction of (a) the value of your vehicle up to $500 or (b) if NSF’s agent sells the vehicle for more than $500, they 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. You need Adobe Reader to view this file - click here to download the free Reader.
Please feel free to contact us with any further questions you may have.
