How the car donation process works
Start your Wyoming vehicle donation
Begin by sharing basic vehicle details with Wheels for Wishes, including the year, make, model, condition, and where the vehicle is located in Wyoming. Donors give cars for many reasons: a vehicle no longer runs, repairs cost too much, a family is clearing space, or the donor simply wants to support a meaningful cause. You do not need to understand nonprofit paperwork or vehicle sales. The process is designed to be simple, reassuring, and mission-focused from the first step.
Schedule free pickup near you
After your donation is accepted, free towing is arranged at a time that works for you. Pickup is available across Wyoming, including neighborhoods and nearby areas around Cheyenne, Casper, Laramie, Gillette, Rock Springs, Evanston, Cody, and Sheridan. In many cases, donated vehicles can be picked up from a home, workplace, repair shop, driveway, storage lot, or other accessible location. You avoid the hassle of selling the vehicle yourself, while turning it into support for Heritage for the Blind.
Your vehicle is sold to generate proceeds
Once the vehicle is towed, it is sold through the appropriate resale or auction channel. The sale creates the charitable proceeds from your donation. Unlike a private sale, you do not have to advertise, negotiate, meet buyers, or handle repeated showings. The important mission point is clear: 100-percent of vehicle proceeds go to Heritage for the Blind, EIN 58-2164446, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving people who are blind or visually impaired.
Proceeds fund direct Heritage for the Blind services
Heritage for the Blind uses vehicle donation proceeds to support services for blind and visually impaired Americans. That includes helping individuals understand and connect with government benefit programs such as SSI/SSDI, LIHEAP energy assistance, Section 8 housing assistance, Medicare Extra Help, and Medicaid. These programs can be difficult to navigate alone, especially when someone is facing vision loss, financial stress, or disability-related barriers. Your donated vehicle helps fund the guidance and support that can connect people with available resources.
Donors and families can check benefits eligibility
If you, a loved one, or someone you know is blind or visually impaired and wants to explore potential assistance, Heritage for the Blind offers an eligibility tool at nhftb.org/finder. This resource helps people check whether they may qualify for programs such as SSI, SSDI, LIHEAP, Section 8, Medicare Extra Help, Medicaid, and related assistance. Your Wyoming car donation helps sustain the mission behind that kind of practical support, making it easier for people to find help when they need it.
Receive tax documentation after the sale
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, IRS Form 1098-C documents the gross vehicle sale price, which is generally the amount used for the charitable deduction. Keep your donation receipt and tax forms with your records, and consult a tax professional if you have questions about your personal filing situation.
