Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
Don’t let a few mechanical hiccups stop you from donating! We accept motorcycles and ATVs in both running and non-running condition. Whether it’s a dependable ride or a project waiting to be revived, every vehicle helps us support local causes.
Title Issues
Please remember that we need the title with the back signed and the odometer reading filled in. Don't worry if it’s been lost or damaged; we can help guide you through the process of obtaining a replacement title from the Texas DMV.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
We know that storage can be a hassle, especially if your motorcycle has been parked for too long. We offer convenient pickup options throughout Fort Worth, so if it’s sitting in your garage, we’ll come get it—no fuss, just a quick call and it’s taken care of.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Texas, transferring a motorcycle title is straightforward. You’ll need to sign the back of the title and include the odometer reading. If your title is lost, you can fill out Form VTR-34 for a replacement. Notarization is not required, but you can return your plates if your motorcycle isn't operational anymore. We’ll help you navigate this, ensuring everything is squared away for your donation.
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating your motorcycle could yield some decent tax deductions, typically ranging from $500 to $5,000 depending on the vehicle’s fair market value. When you donate, you’ll receive a 1098-C form documenting your contribution, which you’ll need for your tax return. Drive Change makes sure you have everything in order to maximize your tax benefits!
Local context — Fort Worth
Motorcycles and ATVs are a staple in the Fort Worth culture, with many riders exploring the scenic roads of the Texas Hill Country or making their way to the annual Fort Worth Motorcycle Show. Donations often come from individuals downsizing their collections, relocating from the bustling downtown area to quieter parts, or even those who’ve gone through life changes like divorce. Whatever the reason, each motorcycle you donate helps fuel our mission to drive change in the community.
