There are multiple benefits when choosing Ave Maria Catholic Vehicle Donations as your vehicle donation destination! We are the only national, 100% Catholic vehicle donation program in the United States. Most people throw away their "junk vehicle" to avoid the hassle. Others do not donate a high-profile vehicle in fear of the IRS. There is no need to worry with AMCVD since we have a simple, hassle-free method. We professionally handle the donation and truly maximize an accurate tax deduction value. There are many instances where your tax deduction value will be greater than junking or selling your car. And remember -- donating is a "green" solution since, in some instances, we recycle your vehicle.
Forget DMV / RMV smog tests -- all vehicle conditions are accepted. We handle all paperwork and promptly pick up your vehicle wherever it may be and is at no cost to you!
We have over 154 auction sites throughout all 50 states in the United States. This is one way of optimizing the net proceeds. You can be assured that we are trustworthy, experienced professionals that offer a great service to the charity of your choice.

Why Don't I Just Sell the Vehicle Myself ?
The failure rate is high. Individuals selling their car, boat, or other vehicle have less credibility. An officially registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization like AMCVD not only has the credibility, but the knowledge, professionalism, training, education, and experience needed to successfully maximize your donation and tax deduction.

Why AMCVD and Not "The Other" Donation Charity ?
Unfortunately, many vehicle donation charities are not "real charities." In truth, most vehicle donation charities are "for-profit charities," but disguised as "non-profit charities !" This is definitely not the case at Ave Maria Catholic Vehicle Donations ! We originally entered into this arena, being fully aware that most vehicle donation programs fall into the "questionably unethical" category. It is our intent to change that -- by ethically and morally delivering outstanding, honest services to our benefactors and participating charities ! With that said, Ave Maria will net you many more dollars per vehicle -- than any other vehicle donation program -- and we do all the work ! We truly excel in maximizing the potential donation for the charity of your choice. "The other donation for-profit company" may obtain up to 90% or more of the donation, leaving less than 10% to your charity. At AMCVD, it is typical to donate anywhere from 60-75% or more per vehicle, depending on the quality, the demand at sale, and various conditions of the vehicle, at point of inspection, costs of sale, and final sale. As the final sales become larger, the donations to the chosen charities become larger and maximized tax donation deductions become more inviting to the donors ! Feel free to contact us at any time to ask us anything whatsoever -- we are here for you at all times ! Call us at 855-777-MARY. That's 855-777-6279.

What Is Allowed for the Tax Deduction ? How Much Will It Be Worth ?
When the vehicle sells for $500 or less, you will receive a tax deduction letter from Ave Maria Catholic Vehicle Donations stating your vehicle sold for $500 or less. As allowed by the IRS, you may claim a deduction for the lesser of the vehicle’s fair market value or $500. When the vehicle sells for more than $500, you will receive a tax deduction letter stating the gross sales price. For example, if it sells for $4,250, your tax deduction is $4,250.
