WBGO Car Donation Program

Vehicle Donation

Easy Process! Free Towing! Tax Benefits!

Donating your vehicle to WBGO is a great way to support public radio programming. We can take all types of vehicles, from cars to motorcycles to boats to planes. It's a simple process and we can give you a receipt to deduct from your taxes.

What types of vehicles can I donate?
Almost anything with a title: cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, boats, planes, and farm equipment. No smog certificate or inspection required. We arrange pickup anywhere in the U.S., with rare exceptions. Lost your title? We can help replace it.

What information do I need?
To start, just your contact details and basic vehicle info - use our online form. Later, you’ll need the vehicle title. If it’s missing, call our vehicle donation specialists at 1-877-215-0227 for assistance.

Can I donate a vehicle that doesn’t run?
Yes. Tell us and we’ll dispatch the right tow truck. Every vehicle can support WBGO’s programming.

Which areas do you serve?
We can collect from anywhere in and around Newark and the wider New York area. Technically speaking, we can collect from almost anywhere across the country.

Turn your old car, truck, motorcycle, RV or boat into a tax free deductible donation that will keep the music you love playing
