How the car donation process works

1

Start your Texas car donation with a mission-first choice

When you donate through Rev Up Giving, you are choosing to support Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, EIN 58-2164446. Donors across Texas give cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, and other vehicles because they want the value of something they no longer need to help someone else move forward. You do not have to know the resale value or handle the sale yourself. You simply begin the donation, provide basic vehicle and location details, and the process is coordinated for you with the mission in mind.

2

Schedule free pickup where it is convenient

Your donation includes free towing or pickup in many Texas communities, from central neighborhoods in Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio to suburbs such as Plano, Irving, Round Rock, Sugar Land, Arlington, and The Woodlands. After you provide your vehicle information, a pickup time is arranged that works for you, whether the car is at home, work, a repair shop, or another accessible location. This helps remove the hassle of selling privately, meeting strangers, paying for towing, or trying to move a vehicle that no longer runs.

3

The vehicle is sold and proceeds go to Heritage for the Blind

After pickup, the vehicle is processed for sale through the appropriate resale channel based on its condition, age, location, and marketability. The important point for mission-motivated donors is clear: 100% of the vehicle sale proceeds go to Heritage for the Blind. Rev Up Giving helps make the donation process easier for you while the proceeds support the charity’s work serving people who are blind or visually impaired. You are turning a vehicle into funding that can be used for real assistance instead of letting it sit unused.

Proceeds help fund services and benefit connections

Heritage for the Blind uses vehicle donation proceeds to help fund services for people who are blind or visually impaired, including support connecting individuals with government benefit programs. These may include SSI or SSDI, LIHEAP energy assistance, Section 8 housing support, Medicare Extra Help, Medicaid, and other public assistance programs that can be difficult to understand without guidance. If you or someone you know wants to check eligibility for assistance programs, visit nhftb.org/finder. Your Texas car donation helps support this kind of practical, people-centered service.

5

Receive tax documentation for your donation

Because Heritage for the Blind is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 58-2164446, eligible vehicle 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 IRS Form 1098-C is provided for your records. For vehicles at or below $500, different IRS rules may apply. Rev Up Giving cannot provide personal tax advice, so it is wise to speak with a tax professional about your specific situation.
