In Yonkers, many residents don’t realize they could qualify for crucial benefit programs, such as SNAP or Medicaid. Families in places like Park Hill or northwest Yonkers may struggle to access food assistance, while seniors in the same areas could be missing out on vital healthcare resources. Our mission is to ensure that all residents are informed of the benefits available to them.
At Yonkers Donate Cars, we tirelessly research and connect our neighbors with the services they deserve. By donating your vehicle, you directly fund our research efforts and enable us to reach those in need. Our research aims to expand coverage, ensuring that more families, individuals, and seniors throughout Yonkers can access programs like TANF/Safety Net Assistance and WIC.
Donating a vehicle is a clean and effective way to support this cause. Your car, whether it’s an old sedan parked in your driveway in Dunwoodie or a motorcycle you no longer ride in Getty Square, can become a source of funding for our vital research. Join us in making a local impact by donating your vehicle today.

Everything you need to know about maximizing your tax deduction when donating a vehicle in New York.
When you donate your vehicle to Yonkers Donate Cars, you can receive a tax deduction based on IRS Form 1098-C. This form specifies the amount you can deduct, which is typically the vehicle's fair market value on the date of donation or the sale price if sold.
It's important to understand the difference between fair market value and what your vehicle sells for. For instance, if you donate a car valued at $2,000, but it sells for $1,500 at auction, your deductible amount may be the sale price. You’ll need to itemize your deductions on your tax return to benefit fully.
In New York, there are specific regulations around vehicle donations. If your vehicle sells for more than $500, you must report the sale on your tax return to claim the deduction. Be sure to keep any documentation, including the 1098-C form, for your records. For example, if the vehicle you donate helps fund research resulting in a $500 benefit to a local family, you could claim that amount on your tax return.
