How the car donation process works
Start your Denver Metro donation with Ride Revive
Begin by telling Ride Revive about your vehicle and where it is located in the Denver Metro area. You can donate many types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, and motorcycles, even if they are not running. We will confirm basic details, answer your questions, and help arrange a free tow from a driveway, apartment lot, workplace, repair shop, or storage location. Pickup is available throughout Denver neighborhoods and surrounding suburbs such as Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Thornton, Westminster, and Centennial.
Your vehicle is picked up at no cost to you
Once your donation is scheduled, a local towing provider contacts you to coordinate a convenient pickup window. There is no towing charge to you, and you do not need to make repairs, detail the vehicle, or get it ready for resale. The goal is to make the process simple for Denver donors who want to help but may be dealing with an old, unused, damaged, or high-mileage vehicle. After pickup, your donation moves into the sale process that generates proceeds for Heritage for the Blind.
100-percent of vehicle proceeds go to Heritage for the Blind
After pickup, the donated vehicle is sold through an appropriate vehicle sale channel. The proceeds from that sale are directed to Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, EIN 58-2164446. With Ride Revive, 100-percent of vehicle sale proceeds go to Heritage for the Blind. That means your Denver car donation is not just clearing space in your garage or driveway—it is helping fund services designed for people who are blind or visually impaired and need practical support, information, and connection.
Proceeds support services and benefit connections
Heritage for the Blind uses vehicle donation proceeds to help serve people who are blind or visually impaired, including by connecting individuals with government benefits and assistance programs. These may include SSI, SSDI, LIHEAP, Section 8, Medicare Extra Help, Medicaid, and other resources that can be difficult to navigate alone. Donors, families, and community members who want to check eligibility for assistance programs can visit nhftb.org/finder. Your car donation helps make this kind of guidance and outreach possible for people seeking stability and support.
You receive tax documentation after the vehicle sale
Because Heritage for the Blind is a qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 58-2164446, donations may be tax deductible for donors who itemize deductions. For vehicles that sell for more than $500, your charitable deduction is generally based on the gross vehicle sale price, and IRS Form 1098-C is used to document the donation. Ride Revive helps make sure you receive the appropriate tax receipt after the sale. Always consult a tax professional for advice about your personal filing situation and deduction eligibility.
