FSD relies on the generosity of our community of supporters to fund our programs. Your vehicle donation will help us continue to provide custom-trained service dogs, at no charge, to the 90-plus people on our waiting list. Your donation is tax deductible, responsibly spent, and greatly appreciated. Please consider donating your vehicle to FSD today!

Donating your vehicle helps support your local nonprofit and your community. Car donations can provide a wide array of support. The donation of cars might seem like a complex task but with Cars Helping Charities, that process is made easy.

Cars Helping Charities is a technology platform, car donation program, and logistics provider to hundreds of nonprofits. We partner with charities who want to eliminate the overhead of running their own car donation program or want to stop using a vehicle donation solicitor due to donor perception. Cars Helping Charities has been processing vehicles for 15+ years all across the United States and has built a solid reputation for a high level of service. Our focus on technology and data has developed an efficient process that is passed on to our nonprofit partners. We’re here to make sure all charities have an efficient turn-key platform to accept vehicle donations and systems that give our donors the best car donation program experience possible.
