What Makes Donating Your Car in Yuma So Important?

Since 2015, Breast Cancer Car Donations has helped communities across the country turn old cars and other vehicles into life-saving support for people battling breast cancer. When you take part in our Yuma car donations program, you do more than free up space in your garage—you help fund early detection, treatment, and support services that bring hope to patients and families. On this page, you’ll learn how the process works, what types of vehicles you can donate, and how your contribution strengthens your community. You’ll also discover the many benefits for you, from free towing to the chance for a valuable tax deduction.

How Do Your Donations Help the Local Breast Cancer Community?

Donating your car in Yuma means joining others in supporting local families fighting breast cancer. Your gift helps patients gain access to much-needed medical services, treatment, and financial assistance. Every donated vehicle makes a difference—showing patients they’re not alone and that their neighbors care.

According to U.S. breast cancer statistics, one in eight women will face invasive breast cancer at some point in her life. By giving through our Yuma car donation program, you help ensure that those in need have access to care and resources that can save lives.

Which Charities Benefit From My Donation?

We operate car donation programs on behalf of two trusted IRS-certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit partners:

• American Breast Cancer Foundation (ABCF) – Provides uninsured and underserved individuals with access to breast cancer screening and diagnostic services. ABCF connects patients to local facilities that offer affordable and free medical care.
• Women Involved in Nurturing, Giving, Sharing, Inc. (WINGS) – Offers financial support to families facing the costs of breast cancer treatment, including surgery, oncology care, hospital fees, and medications. WINGS also engages in outreach programs that raise awareness about prevention and early detection.

Together, these nonprofits use the funds generated by your donation to expand programs, reach more patients, and support advocacy efforts.

What Is the Step-By-Step Car Donation Process in Yuma?

We’ve made donating your car quick, simple, and stress-free:

Step 1: Contact us.
Fill out our online donation form or call 866-540-5069. Share a few details about your vehicle—make, model, year, mileage, and condition. We’ll arrange a convenient time to pick it up.

Step 2: Free vehicle pickup.
At your chosen time, we’ll coordinate with a local towing partner to haul your vehicle away at no cost to you. You don’t even need to be present. We’ll provide you with a temporary receipt for record-keeping and tax purposes.

Step 3: Get your tax-deductible receipt.
Within days of your vehicle’s sale at auction, you’ll receive an official tax-deductible receipt in the mail showing the exact sale price. You can then use this when itemizing deductions on your federal tax return.

What Types of Vehicles Can You Donate?

Almost any type of motor vehicle can be donated—even if it hasn’t run in years. As long as it still holds cash value, we’ll gladly accept it. Common donations include:

• Cars, coupes, sedans, hatchbacks, and convertibles
• Vans and minivans
• Trucks and pickups
• RVs, campers, and buses
• Motorcycles and scooters
• Boats and Jet Skis

How Does Donating Provide Tax Benefits?

When you donate, you’re eligible for a charitable tax deduction. Your potential deduction depends on how your vehicle is used:

• If it sells for $500 or less, you can claim up to $500 or the vehicle’s fair market value (whichever is less).
• If it sells for more than $500, you can deduct the full sale price shown on your tax receipt.

To maximize your deduction, be sure to itemize your deductions and keep all paperwork we provide. This way, your donation not only helps the community but also benefits you financially.

Beyond Donating, How Else Can I Help My Community?

If you’d like to make an even greater impact, consider volunteering with local cancer care organizations. In Yuma, you can contact the Onvida Health Cancer and Blood Disorders Center or the Southwest Oncology Centers to ask about opportunities to support patients and families. From volunteer work to fundraising, your time and efforts are another powerful way to bring hope and comfort to those in need.
