Title transfer & paperwork
In Colorado, transferring the title of your truck is straightforward.

We’re here to guide you through these steps, making the process seamless so you can focus on the impact your donation will have.
Tax deduction for this donation
Your donation may qualify for a tax deduction typically ranging from $500 to the full sale price if the truck sells for more. Don’t forget to request a 1098-C form from us for your tax records, ensuring you get the maximum benefit come tax season!
Local context — Colorado
Colorado is a state where trucks are more than just vehicles; they're a lifestyle. From the bustling streets of Denver to the scenic routes of Boulder, trucks play a vital role in our daily lives. Many donors choose to part with their trucks due to life changes—like relocating to a new city, downsizing after kids leave home, or simply opting for a more eco-friendly mode of transport. The culture here embraces the practicality of trucks, and we see donations from families, businesses, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
