How the car donation process works
Start your Greenville car donation
Begin by sharing basic details about your vehicle, such as the year, make, model, condition, and where it is located in the Greenville Metro. Cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, and other vehicles may be accepted even if they are not running. You do not need to know the vehicle value or repair cost before you start. RevLocal helps make the first step donor-friendly, so you can focus on the mission behind the gift: supporting Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 58-2164446.
Schedule free local pickup
After your donation is started, free towing is arranged at a convenient pickup location. That may be your driveway in Greenville, a parking area near Furman University, an office in Greer, a family home in Simpsonville, or another accessible spot in Mauldin, Taylors, Travelers Rest, or Easley. A licensed towing provider will coordinate timing and pickup instructions with you. In many cases, you do not need to drive the vehicle anywhere, which helps make donating easier than selling, repairing, or storing an unwanted car.
Your vehicle is sold to create mission proceeds
Once the vehicle is picked up, it is processed for sale through the appropriate resale channel. The final sale price depends on the vehicle condition, demand, parts value, mileage, and other market factors, so no impact amount should be promised in advance. What matters is that 100-percent of the vehicle sale proceeds go to Heritage for the Blind. That means your unused car is turned into funding for services that support people who are blind or visually impaired, rather than sitting idle in a driveway or garage.
Proceeds fund Heritage for the Blind services
Heritage for the Blind uses vehicle donation proceeds to help fund services for blind and visually impaired Americans. That includes helping individuals connect with government benefit programs and support resources, such as SSI, SSDI, LIHEAP, Section 8 housing assistance, Medicare Extra Help, Medicaid, and related programs. For people trying to navigate paperwork, eligibility rules, and available assistance, that connection can be meaningful. Donors, family members, or anyone seeking help can also visit nhftb.org/finder to check potential eligibility for assistance programs.
Receive your tax documentation
Because Heritage for the Blind is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, EIN 58-2164446, qualifying donations may be tax deductible for donors who itemize deductions. If your donated vehicle sells for more than $500, your deduction generally equals the gross vehicle sale price, and you will receive IRS Form 1098-C for your records. Keep the receipt and consult a tax professional if you have questions about your personal filing situation. RevLocal makes sure donors understand the basic documentation process before and after the donation.
