FAQ:

• What are the benefits of donating my car to WFUV?
  WFUV benefits by receiving a cash donation toward our operating expenses. You benefit by being able to reduce your taxable income when taxes are itemized. Plus you avoid the costs associated with selling your car - there's no need to pay for advertising, no loss of privacy, and no need to keep your car in running condition while you wait for a buyer.
   
• Does my car have to be running to donate it?
  No. In some cases we can take your car, running or not. However, it must have an engine and be tow-able. Contact a representative at 888-400-5520 to find out if your vehicle qualifies for pick-up.
   
• Do you only accept cars?
  Many types of property are accepted - including boats, motorcycles, trucks, cars, motorhomes, airplanes, time-shares, and even houses!
   
• How long will it take to pick up my vehicle?
  In some cases, if we receive your call early in the day, a same-day pick can be available - at most, a tow company will contact you within 2-3 business days.
   
• Do I have to be with the vehicle at the time of pick-up?
  No. Special arrangements can be made.
   
• What paperwork do I need?
  The only paperwork needed is a signed, clear title. Have your title with you when you call in your donation. [Please note: a 'clear' title indicates the title is in the name of the donor without a lien].
• How much does WFUV get?
  70% of the sale price goes right to FUV's operating budget.

That Tax Info Again:
