Make A Real Impact With Your Connecticut Car Donation
Car Donation Foundation d/b/a Wheels For Wishes has raised over $192 million for charities all over the country. That number is only possible because of generous donors like you — people who are ready to let go of an unwanted vehicle and put it to work for children in need.
You Receive Great Benefits When You Donate Your Car
- Our friendly, hassle-free donation process could not be easier from start to finish.
- We come to you with free towing, clearing up space on your property at no cost to you.
- You receive a tax-deductible receipt reflecting the actual selling value of your donation at auction or recycling, ready to use on your 1098-C form at tax time.
- Your donation — whatever the vehicle — makes a real difference for children's charities across the country.
If you have a boat and trailer sitting on your property taking up space, donating to Wheels For Wishes may be your best option. Selling takes time and comes with its own headaches. Donating is fast, free, and completely hassle-free — and your great tax deduction might just help cover costs the next time you are ready to get back on the water.
