Donate your vehicle to benefit Make-A-Wish Minnesota

If you want to donate your car, Minnesota is a great place to do it. Minneapolis is ranked as one of the best cities in America for cyclists, and with improved public transportation between the Twin Cities, now may be the best time to consider getting rid of your car. One way to do just that isn't going through the hassle of selling it on your own. You can donate it!

Our Convenient Three Step Vehicle Donation Process

A donated vehicle can help make dreams come true for local Make-A-Wish kids in Minnesota. Here's our three step vehicle donation process:

Step One:

First, call us at 1-855-278-9474 or fill out our easy online donation form. Our experienced representatives are here to answer your questions and help guide you through the process.

Step Two:

Within 24 hours of the next business day, we contact you to arrange your free pick up. We come to you anywhere in Minnesota and pick up your donated vehicle for free.

Step Three:

After your vehicle donation is complete, we mail you a tax-deductible receipt. Use this donation receipt to claim your tax deduction.

Our Mission

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.
