When a person decides that they no longer want to use a car, they can either sell or donate the car. In addition, if you have a car that doesn’t run, you can also donate it. Many organizations rely on donations alone to carry on their nonprofit work. If you have a car that you no longer need, consider donating it. Read on to learn how to donate a car in Phoenix, Arizona.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Car to donate
  • Car title
  1. Step 1

    Launch your Internet browser and go to the America’s Car Donation Charities Center website. The organization was established in 1992 to help several different charities located around the United States raise funds through donated cars.

  2. Step 2

    Click on the Donation Form link and start by entering your contact information. You will then need to select which charity you would like the proceeds from your donated car to be given to. There are Arizona charities on the list but should you want the funds to go to a charity outside of Arizona, there are a wide variety of choices.

  3. Step 3

    Enter your vehicle information. If the car to be donated is at your residence, then you can check the box indicating that.

  4. Step 4

    Provide detailed vehicle information. In addition to the year, make, model, license plate and vehicle identification number (VIN), the form also prompts you to enter information about the vehicle’s condition. It is important that you provide accurate information as the organization will incur towing charges if your vehicle does not run. If the car is in such a shape that the tow would be greater than the vehicle’s value, then it is likely that the car is not a good fit to be donated.

  5. Step 5

    Submit the form. You will be contacted by a professional towing company within three to four business days.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you would like to donate to a specific charity in Arizona that is not on the list above, you can look up their contact information in the phone book and call them directly. Although this process isn't as streamlined as the above website, you are ensured that the proceeds from your donated vehicle completely benefit your desired charity. As an example, the Phoenix Children's Hospital website has information for individuals looking to donate a car, truck, boat or RV to the hospital. Many local charities will have similar programs.
