Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
We accept vans in any condition. Whether your minivan is running smoothly or has seen better days, we believe every vehicle has the potential to help someone in need.
Title Issues
If your minivan has a lost or damaged title, don’t worry! We can guide you through the steps to obtain a duplicate title, making the donation process smooth and straightforward.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
Got a van parked at your home, a marina, or an RV park? We offer free pickup for your convenience. Just let us know where it’s located, and we’ll handle the rest.
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating your van in Minneapolis, you'll need to transfer the title before the pickup. Minnesota DMV requires you to fill out the Certificate of Title and provide it to the buyer (that's us!). If you have a lien on the vehicle, it must be released first. Typically, you don't need notarization unless specified, and don't forget to return your license plates to the DMV.
Tax deduction for this donation
Your donation can provide you with a tax deduction! Typically, you can expect a deduction range of $500 to the vehicle's fair market value. Make sure to keep a copy of the IRS Form 1098-C we provide—this will help with your tax filing. Please consult with a tax professional for personalized advice.
Local context — Minneapolis
In Minneapolis, vans and minivans come from all walks of life. Many are donated by families relocating to greener pastures or downsizing after kids move out. Others stem from local businesses that have had to pivot, leaving behind vehicles that still have plenty of life left. The supportive spirit of Minneapolis shines through as neighbors look to help other neighbors, turning unused vans into vehicles of hope.
