Donate a vehicle to Cars for Homes, Habitat for Humanity of Dutchess County’s car donation program, to help support local families.
Every vehicle donated is either resold or recycled, so you’re not just helping families, you’re helping the environment. You’ll be helping yourself too because a charitable vehicle donation may qualify you for a tax deduction. Cars for Homes takes more than just cars. The program also accepts trucks, recreational vehicles, boats, snowmobiles, farm and construction equipment. Towing is free!

How much of a tax write-off do I get for donating my car?
When your vehicle is sold, that will determine the value. If your vehicle sells for more than $500, you may be eligible to deduct the full selling price. If your vehicle sells for $500 or less, you can deduct the “fair market value” of your vehicle, up to $500. We recommend that you talk to your tax advisor to determine your personal tax deduction situation. You can learn more here.
