What is the St. Jude car donation program?

The St. Jude car donation program allows you to donate a car to charity in a simple and convenient way. We’ve partnered with Charitable Adult Rides and Services (CARS) to make donating a car to charity easier than ever. Vehicle donations are simple and eligible for tax deductions.

*From July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, CARS will donate 80% of the net sales proceeds from each donated vehicle to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®.

Benefits of car donations

At St. Jude, every donation, including a vehicle donation, helps provide lifesaving treatments to children fighting childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

Donating a car to St. Jude is a gift that keeps on giving. Other benefits include.

 
 

Free up space

Rather than letting an unused vehicle sit, let it go to a good cause and free up the space!

 

Avoid expensive repairs

Instead of paying to repair a damaged or inoperable vehicle, let St. Jude take it off your hands.

 

Skip the hassle

Donate a car to help save the lives of children worldwide, and save yourself the time and energy of selling it.

 

Get a tax write-off

Car donations are tax deductible. You can typically deduct your car’s value when you include your donation in your charitable contribution deduction.
