What is the Vehicle Donation Program?
Community Access Unlimited has successfully distributed vehicles to individuals in our programs. Once they receive the vehicle, their lives are immediately changed. They now have expanded their opportunities in employment, education, and socialization.
Your tax-deductible donation of a used car in good condition will help an individual with special needs get to a job or school and live more self-sufficiently. Unlike other car donation programs, CAU does not take cars and sell them, receiving only a percentage of its value. By donating to CAU, 100% of your donation goes to a person with transportation needs and you can claim 100% of the fair market value of your donation.

You potential donation will then be checked out by our certified mechanic, and a decision is made whether or not to accept your donation based on condition and the current needs of our membership.
All vehicles must be in good working condition, and have limited cosmetic damage. The owner of the vehicle must possess the title of the vehicle being donated. Once you are ready to donate the vehicle, arrangements are made to transport the vehicle to the agency. The owner will then receive a donation letter which can serve as a charitable donation, which is tax-deductible to the extent provided by law.
You can deduct contributions to a charity if you itemize deductions when you file your taxes. We will issue you a letter describing your contribution, including the amount of your contribution, for your records. For more information on vehicle donations and tax deductibility, please see IRS Publication 4303 available online at www.irs.gov or by calling 800-829-3676.
Community Access Unlimited respects the privacy of each donor and the information they give when making contributions to us. As such, Community Access does not release any donor information to other agencies, private or public. We do not sell, rent or trade the names or contact information of any donor. Each donor can feel secure in the pledge they make to us.
