Charities that allow you to donate cars for Veterans’ support might operate a little differently than you’d expect. When you donate a vehicle, you’re providing it to a Veteran. You’re providing a vehicle to the non-profit, which then sells it and donates the proceeds to charities that benefit our Veterans. This is great, as it means car donations for veterans don’t even have to be in working order to make a difference. You can donate any vehicle, no matter the condition. It’s a win-win. You finally get rid of that old clunker and charities like Vehicles for Veterans make good use of it.
Honestly, donating cars to Veterans couldn’t be any easier. Vehicles for Veterans will pick up your vehicle for free, handle the additional paperwork, and provide you a receipt. They even accept boats, RVs, campers, and ATVs, too.
There are so many charities that provide support to Veterans in need. Here are some of the great programs to which Vehicles for Veterans donates:
By the way, Veteran car donations are 100% tax deductible. In fact, if a donated vehicle sells for less than $500, you can claim the fair market value. If the vehicle sells for more than $500, you can claim the sale amount.

Did you know that every day, twenty Veterans take their own lives? Or that a shelter pet is euthanized every eight seconds due to lack of space? Pets for Patriots provides resources that help Veterans combat mental health challenges and adopt their new best friend while connecting the most overlooked shelter pets with loving homes.
Not only does Pets for Patriots promote emotional support dogs for Veterans and protect the bond between animals and their humans, but they also work to make lifetime pet ownership more affordable.
The non-profit offers several benefits to Veterans, dog adoption or cat adoption included. They also make contributions toward pet food and other basic needs, provide discounts on pet goods and services, and connect Veterans to high-quality, affordable veterinary care.
In order to participate with Pets for Patriots, there must be at least one shelter or rescue partner within 40 driving miles of your home address. Simply enter your address on their program availability page to find participating partners.

There’s a benefit to the animal in all of this, too. First and foremost, Patriots for Pets works to prepare former members of the military for pet adoption. This ensures that the Veteran is truly aware of and ready for all that pet ownership entails, reducing the chances that he or she will need to return the pet.
Secondly, the program focuses on the most overlooked pet populations when working with former military. Pet rehoming occurs most often when the animal is over two years old, has special needs, or weighs more than 40 pounds. It is these populations of pets, along with any animal that has been at a shelter for more than 6 months, which Pets for Patriots works to connect with a Veteran. It’s truly a win-win.
