Looking For an Easy Way to Donate a Car in Bradenton?

Is there an old car, van, SUV, camper or motorcycle sitting in your garage that you don't use anymore and that's only taking up space? Are you hoping to clear room for a vehicle you actually want to drive, or just tired of looking at something that's collecting dust? Donating can help you solve that problem in a way that also helps someone else.

Breast Cancer Car Donations can help you move forward without the stress of figuring everything out alone. When you donate an unwanted vehicle, we put it to good use instead of letting it keep becoming a bigger burden for you. You are not just getting rid of a vehicle---you are helping create support that can improve life for breast cancer patients in Bradenton, Florida and the people who care about them.

If you want to know more about our Bradenton, Florida car donation program, here are the key things you should know before you start so you feel confident and prepared.

How Does Our Bradenton, Florida Car Donations Process Work?

We designed the donation process to feel easy for you from the very first step. When you donate through our Bradenton, Florida auto donation program, you can expect a process that is simple, quick and convenient, with clear communication along the way. The goal is to help you complete your donation without delays or confusion. In most cases, everything moves forward in three basic steps:

  1. Step 1: Fill out our online donation form or call us at (866) 540-5069.

    Tell us that you want to donate your car. Share with us your personal contact details and your vehicle's year, make and model. Let us know if you have the title to the vehicle and the latter's running condition. Advise us also on your preferred time, date and place for picking up your vehicle.
  2. Step 2: A licensed towing company from your area will pick up and tow your car.

    This is on us, so you don't have to pay for this. We do not require your presence on the day of pickup, but please don't forget to put the vehicle's title and keys inside the vehicle. Before we leave, we will give you a donation receipt that will free you from all liabilities on the car, which means you can now cancel its registration and insurance coverage.
  3. Step 3: We will then sell your car at auction. 

    Within 30 days after your car is sold, we'll send you your tax-deductible sales receipt that shows your vehicle's final selling price. You'll need this to claim your maximum tax deduction once you file your federal tax return

What Types of Vehicles Do We Accept for Donation?

We accept many types of vehicles for our Bradenton, Florida vehicle donation program, including some that are not currently running. However, there are limits and program requirements, and not every vehicle can be accepted. For example, we cannot process abandoned vehicles because they typically do not have a title, which is required for a legal sale. We also may not be able to accept vehicles that are a total wreck or those with little or no value, because they cannot be sold responsibly through our process.

If you've misplaced your title and can't find it anymore, don't panic. That happens more often than you might think and we can help guide you through steps to request a replacement title so your donation can still move forward.

We also gladly accept multiple Bradenton, Florida car donations, because more donations can mean more support for breast cancer patients, more resources for care and more help reaching people who need services.

Here are some of the vehicles we accept for donation:

  • Cars: sedans, vans, SUVs, trucks, motorcycles
  • Watercraft: sailboats, motorboats, fishing boats, yachts, pontoon boats, houseboats, personal watercraft (like jet skis)
  • RVs: recreational vehicles, motorhomes, campers, travel trailers, pop-up trailers, fifth wheelers
  • Specialty vehicles: ATVs, snowmobiles, motorized wheelchairs, riding lawn mowers, tractors, farm equipment
  • Fleet vehicles: cars, passenger vans, cargo vans, SUVs, pickups, trucks, buses
  • Non-commercial airplanes

Where Do the Funds from Your Donations Go?

We partner with certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that are focused on fighting breast cancer. These trusted charities help turn your vehicle donation into real support for people and families who are dealing with breast cancer, including those who may not have the resources to get care easily. Your donation becomes funding that helps programs stay active and reach patients who need help right now.

The proceeds from your vehicle donation go directly to programs that provide free or low-cost breast health services for people who need help paying for care. This support can include resources for prevention, early detection and access to treatment, so more patients can get the care they deserve. When you donate, you're helping strengthen the kind of community support that makes a real difference for patients and families during a difficult time.
