Good news: some charities will accept your motor vehicle even without a title. Breast Cancer Car Donations is your solution.
To move your donation forward, simply give us an alternate proof of ownership. This step confirms that the automobile you’re donating belongs to you and is neither stolen nor abandoned. Acceptable ownership proofs include your bill of sale, registration and insurance papers, vehicle history reports, an affidavit of ownership, or even signed witness statements. Even better, our donation specialists guide you through getting a duplicate title at your local DMV, ensuring we keep the process moving smoothly and steadily toward your successful vehicle contribution today with support.
How Long Does It Usually Take to Get a Duplicate Title from the DMV?
Processing times vary by state, but most DMVs issue duplicate titles within 2 to 6 weeks. Some states offer expedited service for an additional fee.
Are There Fees or Penalties Associated with Requesting a Duplicate Title?
Yes, most states charge a small fee (typically between $15 and $50) to process a duplicate title. Penalties may apply if there are unresolved issues like unpaid fees or incorrect information.
Can I Donate My Car While Waiting for a Duplicate Title to Be Issued?
Yes! You can start the donation process while the title is in progress. Just provide alternative proof of ownership, and we’ll assist you every step of the way.
How Can I Avoid Common Delays or Issues When Requesting a Duplicate Title?
To prevent delays, ensure all forms are correctly completed, include accurate vehicle information and submit any required identification or supporting documents with your request.
What We Do and How You’ll Benefit from Your Car Donation
After we pick up your vehicle, we auction it and pass the full proceeds to our nonprofit partners. Your generous gift empowers these IRS-approved 501(c)(3) charities to help many more uninsured and low-income breast cancer patients in your community by easing the overwhelming cost of treatments, doctor visits, hospital stays, medications, ongoing follow-up care, transportation, therapy sessions and other vital, essential health services they urgently need.
Your support also lets our charity partners connect underserved neighbors with local clinics that offer free breast cancer screening and diagnosis. They guide and provide advocacy for survivors through crucial follow-up care. In addition, the funds you generate power wide-reaching awareness efforts, prevention campaigns, educational programs and compassionate counseling services, ensuring your community stays informed, protected and fully supported throughout the breast cancer journey.
We value your generosity, so once your vehicle sells, we’ll promptly mail you a 100% tax-deductible sales receipt. This document lets you claim the highest possible eligible federal deduction when you file next tax season, adding a welcome financial benefit to the personal satisfaction your donation already delivers.
We also remove your unwanted vehicle at absolutely no cost, scheduling pickup at the time and place most convenient for you. Because our program spans the entire United States, we can reach you anywhere. You can relax while we personally handle every bit of paperwork, sparing you the hassle and freeing your energy for things you enjoy.
Your greatest reward, though, is the priceless satisfaction you feel knowing your generous act may help save lives. We welcome almost any vehicle, regardless of age or condition. Even if your car carries scratches, dents, or plenty of miles, we will proudly happily accept it.
