The tax-deductible contribution of your unwanted car, truck, boat, RV or other vehicle to SAFE, Inc. is a simple and easy way to give. Through America’s Car Donation Center, SAFE, Inc. receives 70% of the resale value of the vehicle to support our programs. You receive free towing and removal of the vehicle at your convenience, title transfer to the buyer, and documentation of your donation for tax purposes.
If you are interested in donating a vehicle, the process is simple. Once you contact SAFE, Inc., our staff member will fill out a form with you and submit it to America’s Car Donation Center on your behalf. They will contact you about scheduling removal of the vehicle. Upon picking up the vehicle, they will provide a receipt for your records that also satisfies the Internal Revenue Service requirements for proof of donated property. Within one month of your donation, SAFE will receive a check for seventy percent of the value of the vehicle. It’s that simple.
