Breast Cancer Car Donations makes it easy for Richmond residents to donate cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, RVs, and other vehicles with free vehicle pickup and the opportunity to receive a tax deduction if you itemize your deductions. Instead of dealing with the time, expense, and uncertainty of selling or repairing an older vehicle, you can make a hassle-free donation that helps change lives.
When you donate your vehicle, the proceeds from its sale help support our trusted nonprofit partners as they work to expand breast cancer screening, prevention, patient education, research, and treatment programs. These funds also help provide resources that improve access to care for local patients and families affected by breast cancer. Every donation helps advance the fight against breast cancer while giving your unused vehicle a meaningful new purpose.

Types of Accepted Vehicles
Do you own a vehicle you don’t use or that’s not functional? Is the cost of maintaining and insuring the car taking a toll on your finances? If so, then join our Richmond, Virginia car donations program.
We accept nearly all kinds of vehicles. We even take non-working vehicles on a case to case basis.
Multiple donations don’t faze us – we’d be more than happy to take them all! Still not sure if we’ll take yours? Here’s a complete list of the vehicles we accept:
- Cars: sedans, vans, SUVs, trucks, motorcycles
- Boats: sailboats, motorboats, fishing boats, yachts, pontoon boats, houseboats, personal watercraft (like jet skis)

- Specialty vehicles: ATVs, snowmobiles, motorized wheelchairs, riding lawn mowers, tractors, farm equipment
- Fleet vehicles: cars, passenger vans, cargo vans, SUVs, pickups, trucks, buses
The vehicles we won’t be able to accept include the abandoned ones. Although we’re pleased to know that you’re interested in donating, you can’t give away cars without showing a proof of ownership.
How to Donate a Vehicle
If you’re interested in donating your vehicle but can’t stand a long and tedious process, you’re in luck because Breast Cancer Car Donations makes sure that you won’t waste your precious time. Our car donations process is fast and easy – you literally never even have to leave your home to donate your vehicle. Here’s how:
- Get in touch with us.
You can call us at (866) 540-5069 and tell us more about your vehicle. When was it purchased? What’s the brand and model? But if you’re not in the mood to talk to someone, we completely understand! You can fill out the online donation form instead.
- Schedule your pickup.
The minute we receive your request; we will reach out to a local towing company and have them go to your place and tow your vehicle for free. Just tell us the time and place and we’ll be there – you don’t even have to show up when we pick up your vehicle.
- Wait for the IRS tax receipt.
Once we get your vehicle, we auction it off (this is how we get the funds). Within 30 days after your vehicle is sold, we will mail you your 100-percent tax-deductible sale receipt. You’ll need it to claim your top tax deduction.
Richmond residents can complete their donation in just a few simple steps. Whether your vehicle is running or not, our team coordinates free pickup at your home, workplace, or another convenient location. Most car donors can schedule towing quickly after their donation is confirmed, making it easy to turn an unused vehicle into meaningful support for breast cancer screening, treatment, and patient assistance programs.
What You Get in Return
Now, for the fun part. Although you may not be expecting to get something in return for your charitable car donation, we still like to spoil you a bit. Here’s a list of what you will enjoy upon donating your vehicle:
- Finally getting rid of the car you never use and gaining the extra space you’ve always wanted!
- Never worry about paying for towing – we got this covered!
- Forget about storing, insuring, and caring for an old, rusty car!
- Enjoy potential tax benefits!
- Feel the joy that comes with giving back to the community!
- We handle everything for you – even the paperwork!
Breast cancer gains a lot of attention during the Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but non-profit organizations work tirelessly all throughout the year to raise funds for research, prevention, and treatment of breast cancer. The proceeds from the donations will help them continue their meaningful work.
Choosing car donations means more than clearing space in your driveway. Every donated vehicle helps generate funding for nonprofit partners working to expand breast cancer education, early detection, screening services, patient support, and ongoing research. Your donation creates a positive impact while allowing you to avoid the hassle of selling or repairing an older vehicle.
