Q. What can I donate?

A. We accept most vehicles and vessels including but not limited to cars, trucks,
trailers, boats and RV's.

Q. Is my donation tax deductable?

A: Yes. BOND is a 501 (c) (3) non profit organization. Vehicle/Vessel donations made
from this web site are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. However, individual tax
situations vary so please check with a tax professional to determine what if any tax benefit
you may receive from a tax deductible donation.

Q. What do I need to donate my vehicle?

A: We would like the title to the vehicle, but if you do not have it please call us anyway.
It is possible that other arrangements may be made. Please call us toll-free at
1-800-411-2663 (BOND) Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm PST.

Q. My car hasn't run in years. Can I still donate it.?

A: Yes, we are able to accept most vehicles running or not (exceptions include older
vehicles whose value would not offset the cost of towing). To find out if we can accept
your vehicle, please complete and submit our online donation form.

Q. Can you pick up vehicles in all 50 states?

A: Yes, we are able to pick up accepted vehicles in the continental U.S. and Hawaii.

Q. How is the value of my car determined?

A: In short, the IRS allows you (the donor) to assess the fair market value of your vehicle.
We will provide you with a donation receipt to verify that you made the donation, but the
receipt will not indicate the value. We suggest that you refer to the Kelly Blue Book and print
out the Private Party Value for your vehicle and retain this with your donation receipt. Don't
forget to take into consideration the mileage and condition of your vehicle when assessing its
fair market value.

For additional information, the IRS provides a Donor's Guide to Car Donations which sets forth
the manner in which the IRS requires you to determine the value of your donated property.

Q. How will my car be picked up?

A: We will arrange to have your vehicle towed away by a professionally licensed, bonded and
insured towing company.

Q. How long will it take to pick up my car?

A: You will at least be contacted within three or four business days at the most. If you need
your car picked up sooner, please let us know as we may be able to make those arrangements
as well.

Q. How can I contact you to schedule a pick up?

A: Please complete and submit our online donation form or call us toll-free at 1-800-411-2663
(BOND) Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm PST.
