At RideForward, we understand that donating your vehicle can feel daunting. That's why we’ve streamlined the process to make it as easy as possible for our Philadelphia community. Unlike national call centers, our local team is here to provide personalized support, ensuring that your car donation directly funds vital research that connects neighbors with essential benefits like SNAP and WIC. Your contribution helps create a stronger, more informed Philadelphia.
The full process
Inquire About Donation
Getting started is simple! Reach out to our team through our website or call us directly. We’ll gather some initial information about your vehicle and discuss how your donation will support Philadelphia residents. We focus on understanding your needs and ensuring the process is smooth from the get-go.
Provide Vehicle Details
Next, you’ll share specific details about your vehicle. We'll need information like the make, model, year, and condition. This helps us determine the best way to handle your donation. Remember, it doesn’t have to be in perfect shape; every vehicle can make a difference in our community!
Schedule Pickup
Once we have the details, our team will contact you to schedule a pickup time that works for you. We know that Philadelphia has busy streets, so we offer flexible scheduling options. Our goal is to make this process convenient, accommodating your schedule while respecting the local traffic.
Your Vehicle is Picked Up
On the scheduled day, our local team will arrive to safely pick up your vehicle. We take care of all the details, ensuring everything is handled professionally and with care. This is a moment that helps pave the way for vital research that can benefit neighbors throughout Philadelphia!
Transport to Auction or Recycling
After pickup, your vehicle will either be transported to an auction or sent for recycling. Our local partners ensure that every vehicle is either refurbished for someone in need or recycled responsibly, contributing to eco-friendly practices in Philadelphia.
Funds Support Local Research
The proceeds from your vehicle’s sale are directed towards our free benefits-research service, helping connect residents with programs that can assist families in Philadelphia. Your donation plays a key role in this vital work, creating a safety net for those in need.
Receive Your Tax Receipt
Shortly after your car is picked up, we'll send you a tax receipt via email or mail. This document is important for your records and enables you to claim a deduction for your generous contribution. We want your donation to be beneficial for you as well!
Follow-Up and Impact
We value your support and will follow up to share how your donation has made a difference in the lives of Philadelphia residents. We strive to keep you engaged, so you can see the positive impact of helping your neighbors through our programs.
