Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
Vans, whether they’re zipping around or sitting idle, are valuable! Drive Change accepts both running and non-running vans. If it’s taking up space and not getting used, it can still make a difference.
Title Issues
If your van or minivan has title issues, don’t worry! We can work with you to navigate these challenges. Just let us know the specifics so we can assist you in the donation process.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
We understand that storing a vehicle can be a hassle. That’s why Drive Change offers convenient pickup services right from your home, garage, or driveway. We’ll handle the logistics so you can focus on making a positive impact.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Texas, transferring the title of your van or minivan is straightforward. You’ll need to complete the Application for Texas Title (Form 130-U) and may require notarization, especially if the title is not being transferred directly. Don’t forget to return your license plates if you’re no longer using them. Drive Change will guide you through this process to ensure everything is handled correctly and legally.
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating your van or minivan can provide you with a nice tax deduction! Typically, the range is between $500 and $5,000 depending on the vehicle’s condition and sale price, if applicable. You’ll receive IRS Form 1098-C for your records, detailing the donation value, so you can maximize your tax benefits.
Local context — Fort Worth

Our vibrant neighborhoods, from TCU to the Stockyards, are filled with residents eager to contribute to the well-being of their community. When you donate a van or minivan, you’re not just getting rid of a vehicle; you're gifting hope and opportunity to your Fort Worth neighbors.
