How the car donation process works
Start Your Mississippi Car Donation
Begin by telling Magnolia Motors Gift about the vehicle you want to donate, including the year, make, model, location, and general condition. Cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, and many other vehicles may be eligible, even if they no longer run. You do not need to understand auction values or nonprofit paperwork before you start. The goal is to make giving easy for mission-motivated Mississippi donors who want their unwanted vehicle to support Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, EIN 58-2164446.
Schedule Free Pickup Near You
After your donation is submitted, a towing partner contacts you to schedule free vehicle pickup at a convenient Mississippi location. Pickup may be available at a home, workplace, repair shop, storage lot, or other accessible spot in communities such as Jackson, Gulfport, Biloxi, Hattiesburg, Tupelo, Southaven, Olive Branch, Meridian, Clinton, Flowood, and nearby areas. The tow is free to you. You will receive simple instructions about the title, keys, and anything else needed so the pickup can move smoothly.
Your Vehicle Is Sold to Create Mission Funding
Once the vehicle is picked up, it is prepared for sale through an appropriate vehicle sales channel. The gross sale price helps determine your tax documentation when the vehicle sells for more than $500. For donors who care about impact, the most important point is direct and reassuring: 100-percent of vehicle proceeds go to Heritage for the Blind. Your Mississippi car, truck, or SUV becomes funding that supports services for people who are blind or visually impaired, rather than sitting unused in a driveway or costing money to maintain.
Proceeds Support Blind and Visually Impaired Americans
Heritage for the Blind uses vehicle donation proceeds to support services for people who are blind or visually impaired, including help connecting individuals with benefit programs and public assistance resources. Those programs may include SSI, SSDI, LIHEAP, Section 8, Medicare Extra Help, Medicaid, and other support options. If you, a loved one, or someone in your community wants to check potential eligibility for assistance programs, visit nhftb.org/finder. Your donation helps Heritage for the Blind continue connecting people with information and resources that can reduce stress and improve access to needed support.
Receive Your Tax Documentation
Because Heritage for the Blind is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, EIN 58-2164446, eligible donations may be tax deductible for donors who itemize deductions. If your vehicle sells for more than $500, your deduction is generally based on the gross vehicle sale price, and you should receive IRS Form 1098-C for your records. Keep your receipt and consult a tax professional for advice about your specific situation. Magnolia Motors Gift helps make the paperwork clear so you can donate with confidence.
