What can I donate?
KLRN, The Learning Place accepts cars, trucks and recreational vehicles. When you make an automobile donation your vehicle is resold at auction and the proceeds of the sale go to KLRN. Most vehicles are accepted except those that are heavily damaged or incomplete. The Kiss it Goodbye Car Donation program accepts automobile donations in the KLRN viewing area — 30 south central Texas counties.
Are car donations tax-deductible?
Yes, your donation qualifies as a charitable deduction on your federal income tax return, because KLRN is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

My car does not run. Can I still donate it?
The location and the condition of your car determine whether it can be accepted for resale.
Will you pick up my car?
KLRN will send a tow truck to pick up your vehicle.
The towing company will need:

- the title to your car
- your signature authorizing the tow
A tow receipt will be given to you by the driver—verifying that your vehicle was received on behalf of KLRN.
How do I estimate the value of my car?
The IRS allows you to take a charitable tax deduction on your federal income tax form for the fair market value of your donated vehicle. The condition of your car affects the fair market value.
Take a look at these free publications:
- Kelley Blue Book
- Use estimate to substantiate fair market value
- NADA Guides
- Use estimate to substantiate fair market value of your classic car or recreational vehicle.
- “Determining the Value of Donated Property”
- IRS Publication 561
How to determine the value of your donation
“Noncash Charitable Contributions”
If the fair market value of the vehicle is $5000 or greater you must file the IRS Form 8283 with your tax return. Access the form on the IRS Forms Site.
