Make A Difference With Make-A-Wish Wyoming
You might think your car can't help if it no longer runs or is in bad shape. However, each and every car does make a difference.
Through the generosity of people who donate their cars, Wheels For Wishes has given more than $125 million to local chapters of Make-A-Wish around the country. You can get involved with our mission as well. All it takes is a car donation.
Every donation, no matter the vehicle's condition, goes straight to the heart of Make-A-Wish Wyoming's work, funding experiences that give kids and their families something to hold onto during a difficult time. It's one of the simplest ways for Wyoming residents to support charities doing meaningful work close to home.
"We cannot thank you enough for your support of our mission to provide hope, strength and joy to children who need it most."

You provide life changing wishes to kids dealing with critical illness in Wyoming.
Anywhere In Wyoming, Free Towing!
Living in a very rural state makes it necessary to have a vehicle you can depend on. There are plenty of stretches of the highway where you can go miles without seeing another person or a gas station.
If your vehicle can't handle the distance from Jackson to Casper or even Laramie to Cheyenne, it may be time to upgrade to a more reliable car or truck.
No matter where you are in Wyoming or what kind of vehicle you want to donate, Wheels For Wishes will come to you with free towing. Because we're also a nonprofit, you will receive the maximum possible tax deduction for your car donation to Wheels For Wishes.
Our tow company can make arrangements to meet you at home, at work, or wherever your vehicle happens to be, whether the engine still runs or not. A driver typically reaches out within a day of your call to confirm pickup details.
Towing services are one of the biggest reasons Wyoming donors choose us over trying to sell a vehicle themselves, especially in more remote parts of the state where finding a buyer can take time.

If you don't have an unneeded car to donate, Wheels For Wishes also accepts boats, Jet Skis, utility RVs, motorcycles and other vehicles. This is great for residents who own these types of vehicles and use them to have fun in Wyoming.
If you're one of the many Wyoming residents who raise livestock, horses, or run a ranch for a living, Wheels For Wishes is great for you as well. We also accept trucks, utility trailers, and horse trailers. These vehicles all make excellent donations.
Whatever the year, make, or model, we evaluate every vehicle case-by-case, so don't hesitate to ask even if you're not sure your vehicle qualifies. Our representatives can also answer questions about specific vehicle types over the phone before you commit to donating.
The Tax Benefits of Your Wyoming Car Donation
Your deduction is what your vehicle sells for. If it sells for $500 or less, you can generally claim its fair market value up to $500. After pickup, your vehicle is typically sold at auction, and the sale price becomes your deduction amount.
No qualified appraisal is needed, because the sale price, not an outside opinion of value, sets your deduction. Towing costs never reduce it, and you'll receive a written acknowledgement reporting the full proceeds from the sale.
If your deduction is more than $500, you'll need IRS Form 8283, Section A, along with your tax receipt, when you file. As with any charitable contribution, you can only deduct your donation if you itemize on your tax return. If you have questions about your specific situation, a tax advisor can help.
Many Wyoming donors are surprised at how straightforward the tax side of things is once they see the actual sale price reflected on their receipt, rather than an estimate they have to defend later.
Title Transfer and Paperwork
Our team can guide you through the title transfer and any DMV paperwork that comes with your donation. If there's a lien holder on your vehicle or you've misplaced your title, we can help you work through it.
Completing the title transfer properly protects you, since it moves ownership and any future liability off of your name once your donation is complete. It's a good idea to keep a copy of your paperwork for your records.
If anything about the process is unclear, don't hesitate to call. Our representatives handle title questions regularly and can usually resolve them in a single conversation.

Free towing and a tax deduction make car donation a great option for anyone with an unwanted car. The best reason to donate, though, is that the proceeds from your donation help Make-A-Wish Wyoming grant more wishes for kids facing critical illnesses.
If you have questions along the way, a donation representative is available at 1-855-278-9474 to help with anything from your donation form to the status of your tow. Our goal is to make the entire experience as easy as possible, from your very first call to the day your receipt arrives.
It's a win-win for all when you donate your car to Wheels For Wishes!
