Donate the Old Clunker Sitting in Your Yard

 

Still Hanging on to that Old Clunker?

If you've got an extra car taking up space in your driveway or on your lawn, consider donating it to Newgate School. You can get a tax break, and the neighbors won't complain about your extra driveway decor.

 

Give New Life to Grandma's Old Car

Most of us have faced the problem of a parent or grandparent who can no longer drive. Besides dealing with the emotional toll of losing their independence, you may also get stuck in their old car.

You could try to sell it privately, but that is a big hassle, especially when you need to deal with the title transfer. Newgate School accepts vehicle donations of all kinds: cars, SUVs, trucks, vans, you name it, we take it! And we'll handle the title transfer, too.

If You Can't Trade It, Donate It.

If you've tried to trade in your old car for a sweet new ride, you know the frustration of getting good trade-in value. Every car donation to Newgate School is tax-deductible. We use donated vehicles in our programs that train students in auto mechanics and body repair.

Once the car gets repaired and reconditioned inside and out, we will either offer it for sale or give it to a local working mother who needs reliable transportation.

 

We Love Fixer-Uppers!

Newgate is a not-for-profit school that provides tuition-free training to young men and women looking for a stable career. If you've got a car you no longer use because it's old or needs repair, call us. Your problem car provides our students with an opportunity to learn from body damage to engine repair and transmission work.

 

How Your Donation Can Lower Your Tax Bill

There are two ways that we determine the amount of the deduction on your donated vehicle:

  1. The amount we get for the car when we sell it
  2. The vehicle’s fair market value if we donate it

Newgate School has been operating as a non-profit for over 40 years: we know how to get the maximum value from your donation. Our staff is happy to walk you through completing the IRS forms to claim your deduction when you file.

If the Kids' Old Car Conked Out, Call Us

That car you got your kids when they got their license is now well past its prime. The kids have moved on, and now that old jalopy is perma-parked in front of your house. Before the Homeowner's Association calls you, give us a call.

Your vehicle donation to Newgate School will make a massive difference in many people's lives. If you're looking for a virtually hassle-free way to get rid of a surplus vehicle, call us.
