Non-running vehicles still qualify for donation and can be sold for parts or recycled, ensuring that every donation counts, no matter its condition.
Vehicles with salvage titles can also be accepted with certain restrictions. Meanwhile, rebuilt or reconstructed vehicles may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine their eligibility. If a vehicle has a lienholder present or a missing title, please contact us for specific guidance, as these situations may affect the donation process.

| salvage | with restrictions | Salvage vehicles may still be accepted, but they will undergo an assessment to determine value and acceptance. |
| rebuilt/reconstructed | case-by-case | Rebuilt vehicles will be evaluated individually to assess their condition and donation potential. |
| lienholder present | case-by-case | If there’s a lien on your vehicle, it's crucial to resolve this before donation can proceed. |
