Condition & logistics
Running vs. Non-Running
Whether your vehicle is running or not, we accept donations in both conditions. If it's operational, we’ll handle the pick-up like pros; if it’s not, we still want to hear from you!

Transferring the title of a commercial vehicle in Wisconsin is crucial for a successful donation. You’ll need to fill out the Wisconsin DMV Title Application form and ensure it’s notarized. Don’t forget about returning the license plates; you can find the details on the Wisconsin DMV website or we can help you navigate the process.
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate a commercial or fleet vehicle, you may be eligible for a tax deduction typically ranging from $500 to the vehicle’s fair market value. We’ll issue IRS Form 1098-C, so you have the documentation you need when tax season rolls around. Make sure to check with your tax advisor for specifics.
Local context — Milwaukee
In Milwaukee, commercial and fleet vehicles come from various sources. Business owners may be downsizing after a tough year, or a divorce may prompt the sale of a once-reliable workhorse. Others might find their vehicle has failed inspection and is no longer fit for the road. Milwaukee's culture, with its thriving small businesses and contractors, often leads to vehicles needing new homes. We’re here to help turn that old vehicle into a blessing for local charities!
