Sioux Falls Car Donation Benefits Make-A-Wish South Dakota & Montana

Since 2010, Wheels For Wishes has been working endlessly to help grant the wishes of children in Sioux Falls. You can help a child in your own community while benefiting Make-A-Wish® South Dakota at the same time. By donating a car that rarely, if ever, gets used, you can put a smile on the face of a child in Sioux Falls.

Your unwanted car will be turned into funding for a local child's wish. Wheels For Wishes is a vehicle donation program benefiting Make-A-Wish® South Dakota.

Sioux Falls car donation helps Make-A-Wish kids in South Dakota!

Our charity vehicle donation program helps turn cars, trucks, motorcycles, SUVs, RVs, and even boats into wishes for children in the Sioux Falls area and all over South Dakota, including Aberdeen, Brookings, Huron, Madison, Watertown, Mitchell, Yankton, and more. Car donation is an excellent alternative to selling or trading in your vehicle, and it benefits a local child at the same time.

Car donation is truly a win-win for all. Our team is here to guide you through every part of the process to make donating a car as easy as possible.

Wheels For Wishes makes the car donation process easy, yet incredibly rewarding. Together, we can grant the wish of a local child with a critical illness.

Sioux Falls Car Donation Benefits:

  • Free pick-up and towing of all vehicles, running or not, anywhere in South Dakota including Rapid City.
  • Get a tax deduction for your charity vehicle donation, as long as you itemize. Unlike many others, we are a fully registered IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
  • Our professional service makes the vehicle donation process simple and easy.
  • The knowledge that your vehicle will help a Sioux Falls child.

Skip the hassle of car repairs, negotiating a sales price, or clearing space in your driveway or garage for a vehicle you no longer drive. Donating means one less thing taking up space at home, and one more child closer to having a wish granted.

The Tax Benefits of Your Sioux Falls Car Donation

You can claim your deduction only if you itemize deductions on your return. 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's sale, regardless of your vehicle's market value going in.

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.

Title Transfer and Paperwork

Our team can help with the title transfer for your donation. If you have questions or need details about the process, we're happy to help you sort it out.
