How it Works
Our Mission
Wheels For Wishes believes that every child, no matter his or her health, deserves a chance to have a happy and fulfilling childhood. By donating your vehicle, we are able to raise funds to support Make-A-Wish chapters in locations throughout the country, helping grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions. A wish is an opportunity for a child to focus on something other than their medical routines, and be a kid again.
$82,966,405
As of March 2021, based on the average cost of a wish, donors like you have helped Wheels for Wishes contribute to grant more than 10,831 wishes and counting.

What Types Of Vehicles Can Be Donated?
You might think of your vehicle as nothing more than a “junk car”, but to the “wish kids” of Make-A-Wish, your donation can give them a life-changing experience. Join others in your community who have been donating their cars to benefit children who want to live their dreams despite their critical illnesses.
Proceeds from donated cars go to Wheels For Wishes, a tax-exempt charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code, benefiting your local Make-A-Wish Foundation®. Since 2010, Wheels For Wishes has donated over $82 million toward granting over 10,831 wishes for local children.
