Donate a car in Manassas to help D.C. area Make-A-Wish kids.

Wheels For Wishes is proud to benefit Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic. The Washington D.C. metropolitan area is home to millions of people, so you can be sure that your car donation will help someone in need.

Not only is car donation a great way to give back to kids in need, it's also a free and easy way to get an unwanted vehicle off your hands. Wheels For Wishes will pick up your car from anywhere in the D.C. area and Northern Virginia, including Prince William County, Manassas, Arlington, Washington D.C., Alexandria and more.

With a car donation, you can turn your vehicle into so much more. Why have an unwanted vehicle take up space in your garage or on the street when it could be used to benefit Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic?

Whether you're in Manassas itself or one of the surrounding communities across Northern Virginia, Maryland, or D.C., our program is set up to make the process quick, convenient, and worthwhile.

How Do I Donate A Car In Manassas, VA?

Whether you want to donate online or over the phone, our team is here to help every step of the way. It only takes a moment to donate, but your donation will leave a lasting impact on the children who benefit from it!

  • Call us at 1-855-278-9474 or fill out an online vehicle donation form to get started. If you donate online, we'll call you within 24 hours of the next business day to arrange your free vehicle pickup.
  • Your vehicle will be picked up or towed away to be sold at auction or recycled. The proceeds from its sale will benefit Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic, helping kids in the D.C. area, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.
  • Watch for your tax-deductible receipt to arrive in the mail. Simply save this in your files until tax time to claim your deduction.

If you have questions at any point in the process, our donation representatives are available by phone or email to walk you through it.

The Tax Benefits of Your Manassas Car Donation

Your deduction is the lesser of what the vehicle sells for or its fair market value when donated. 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 lesser of either the sale price or the fair market value becomes your deduction amount.

If your deduction is more than $500, you'll need IRS Form 8283, Section A, along with your tax deductible receipt, when you file. As with any charitable donation, you can only deduct your contribution if you itemize on your tax return.

If you have specific questions about how your donation applies to your personal tax situation, it's always a good idea to check with a tax professional or tax advisor.

What Happens To Your Donated Vehicle

Once your vehicle is picked up, it's typically sold at auction. The sale amount becomes both your tax deduction and the funding that supports Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic.

If a vehicle isn't a good fit for resale, it's recycled instead, so your donation still makes an impact either way.

Either path means your unwanted vehicle turns into real proceeds for kids and families across the region, at no cost to you.

Title Transfer and Paperwork

We can guide you through the title transfer and any DMV paperwork that comes with donating your vehicle. If you've misplaced your title or have other title questions, our team can help you sort it out.

Completing the title transfer properly also protects you, since it moves the vehicle's ownership and any future liability off of your name once the donation is complete.

Our representatives can walk you through exactly what fields need to be filled out, so there's no guesswork on your end.

This is one of the areas where having a dedicated team makes the most difference, since title issues are one of the more common questions we hear from donors.

Serving Prince William County and the Greater D.C. Area

Wherever you're located within the region, our goal is to make donating as convenient as possible, from scheduling pickup to answering questions along the way.

Local donors are what make it possible for Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic to keep granting wishes to kids close to home.

If you're unsure whether your specific location is covered, give us a call, and one of our team members can confirm the details for you.
