Fargo Car Donation Benefits Local Make-A-Wish Kids

Wheels For Wishes North Dakota has been working hard to make wishes come true since 2010, and you can easily help out and give back to your own community. By donating your car, you can grant the wish of a local child. Wheels For Wishes easily turns old vehicles into wishes for Fargo-area kids.

Wheels For Wishes is a vehicle donation program benefiting Make-A-Wish® North Dakota, and every effort is made to see that young patients with critical illnesses across the state see their wishes come true. Our charity vehicle donation program helps turn cars, trucks, motorcycles, SUVs, RVs, and in most cases, even boats into wishes for local youth in Fargo and all over North Dakota.

Car donation is the perfect alternative to selling or trading in your vehicle, and since you can skip the hassle of selling or trading it in, it's a major benefit for you too. Donating your car doesn't get any easier than this, but the best part is knowing your donation will make a wish come true.

Your Donation Is What Makes All of This Possible

Your donation could be helping a family that you already know. Your donated car helps young people right here in North Dakota, so you could be helping the family you saw today at the grocery store or the kid swinging at the park last week. No matter what, your donation will make a wish come true.

A wish granted gives someone the spark they need to lift their spirits, to hope for the future, and to experience joy. Because of that, wishes lead to transformation. Every wish granted is as unique as the person who dreamt it.

Wishes can be to be, to go, to have, or to meet. Someone might wish to be a superhero or go swim with dolphins. A wish might be for something special for a bedroom or backyard, or the opportunity to meet a professional athlete or celebrity. The possibilities are endless, but your car donation will help a wish become a reality.

Why Your Fargo Car Donation Makes a Difference

Every donation supports Make-A-Wish's mission and gives Fargo-area families real resources to work with. It's more than a gift, it's an investment in the success and independence of your local community.

People across the country choose to donate for the same reason: it's a low-effort way to make a genuine impact. Donors, team members, and vehicle donation representatives all play a part in the total goal of granting more wishes.

Types of Vehicles We Accept

Cars, trucks, SUVs, RVs, boats, trailers, and other equipment are all accepted on a case-by-case basis. Whatever type of vehicle you have, our team can typically find a home for it, whether that's a resale, an auction, or recycling.

The Tax Benefits of Your Fargo Car Donation

You may qualify for great tax benefits when you donate your vehicle, and you can claim your tax deduction only if you itemize deductions. We can't give tax advice, so talk to your own tax advisor about your specific situation.

You never need an appraisal to donate. We send your tax receipt within 30 days of your vehicle selling, so you'll have your tax deductible paperwork well ahead of tax season.

Your deduction counts for the year you donate, even if your vehicle sells the following year, which makes late December a great time to donate if you're planning ahead for your return.

Serving Fargo, Moorhead, and All of North Dakota

Our vehicle donation program serves individuals and families throughout Fargo, Moorhead, MN, and locations across North Dakota. No matter your area, our team is ready to help.
