Vehicle Donation Program

Vehicle Donation Program

Turn your car into a great dog idea!
When you donate your used vehicle (Car, Truck, Boat, Motorcycle, etc.) to AAPBA we'll
turn the proceeds into ideas, programs and multi media outlets that benefit dogs and
owners in engaging, informative, educational and entertainment purposes. AAPBA's
vehicle donation program handles all of the details at no charge to you - just follow the
steps below.

How do I donate my vehicle to AAPBA?
Contact the AAPBA and ask for the Vehicle Donation Department at 360-274-4209 or
email aapba@aapba.com You'll be helped by one of our towing companies or car haulers
(in your area) that is in partnership with the AAPBA vehicle donation program. They will
inturn arrange the pickup of your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does my car have to be running to qualify for donation?
No, but the car must have an engine and be towable. However, cars that are in extremely
poor condition or far from our tow range may cost more to tow than the value of the
vehicle. If this is the case, AAPBA may not receive any dollars from your vehicle.

What paperwork do I need?
The only paperwork needed is a signed title (pink slip). However, if the title (pink slip) is
not available, a lost title search can be done.

Do I get a receipt for my donation?
Yes, our driver will issue a receipt at the time of pick-up. This is not your final tax receipt.
The initial acknowledgement will indicate your name, the year, make and model and the
condition of the vehicle you are donating.
A final acknowledgement will be mailed to you within 30 days of the sale. The amount of
gross proceeds received from your vehicle will be listed on this receipt. This will be your
receipt for your charitable contribution.

What can I claim as a deduction?
Due to recent IRS updates to the rules regarding vehicle donations and the amount of the
deduction that can be claimed, we recommend that you refer to IRS Publication 4303 "A
Donor's Guide to Vehicle Donations," which can be found at www.irs.gov, or contact your
tax advisor to determine the amount of your tax deduction.
What does AAPBA do with the donated vehicles?
The vehicles are sold at auction or silent bidding. The funds from vehicle donations are
used to produce quality dog owner educational and entertainment programs or support our
efforts to insure all dogs are registered by taking advantage of the AAPBA's "Free
Registration.".

Do I have to be with the vehicle at the time of pick-up?
No. Special arrangements can be made when you talk with the AAPBA car towing
affiliates.

How much money will AAPBA receive?
It varies. However, after towing and administrative costs the AAPBA registry will receive
the remainder of the proceeds from the sale of the car.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The AAPBA has no control over the amount you will receive for your vehicle
donation. In other words many auctions and silent biddings can release vehicles
to the winning bid which can be higher or lower than your expectations.

The AAPBA does not have the control of the sale or bidding date. The AAPBA
does guarantee a sales receipt within 30 days of sale date.

Thank you for your generous contribution.
