California PAL Vehicle Donations

CALPAL Car Donation Banner

California Police Activities League receives numerous cars from donors every year that go directly to support the programs for the kids. We can take almost every car. Is your vehicle not running? Has it failed the smog test? No problem, we can accept most vehicles with no hassle. Your car will be picked up at your convenience.

To make a donation of your vehicle, fill out the Vehicle Donation Intake Form and either email, mail or fax the form to us directly. If you have any problems in printing out this form you can call the following phone number, (510) 544-4302 and give the information to a California PAL representative who will submit the forms for you.

Once the form is filled out and received you will be called within 24-48 hours to arrange for a pickup convenient to your schedule. At pickup you will need the title and registration that will enable us to do all the paperwork. The tow truck driver will provide you with a receipt for your donation. That's all you need to do, we take care of all of the rest.

If you plan on itemizing your deductions and claiming your car donation you will need to provide your social security number on the form. By January 31st, we will mail you a form for your taxes that conforms to the IRS regulations.
