Condition & logistics
Running vs. Non-Running Trucks
Your truck doesn’t have to be in perfect condition to qualify for donation. Running or not, we’ll ensure it’s put to good use. High-mileage trucks are welcomed!
Title Issues
Don't fret over title issues—we can help you navigate any complications. Just provide us with what you have, and we’ll handle the rest.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
Storing a truck can be a hassle. We offer free pickup services, ensuring a seamless transition from your driveway to a new life as a charitable asset.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Minnesota, transferring the title of your truck is straightforward. You’ll need to complete the Minnesota Department of Public Safety's title transfer form (PS2000) and have it notarized. Don't forget to return your plates to the DMV and keep a record of the transaction. Our team can guide you through this process to make sure everything is in order.
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your truck, you can typically deduct its fair market value on your taxes, which can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the vehicle’s condition. Be sure to keep the IRS Form 1098-C, which we’ll provide after your donation. This document will help you claim your deduction when tax season rolls around!
Local context — Minneapolis
In Minneapolis, trucks come from all corners of the city—from the bustling warehouses of North Loop to the cozy neighborhoods like Linden Hills, where families are often downsizing or relocating. Life changes such as divorce or job relocations frequently spur individuals to donate their trucks rather than going through the hassle of selling. The strong spirit of community here means many residents choose to donate their vehicles to support local charities, knowing their contributions help those in need.
