At Drive Change, we believe in transforming potential into opportunity, which is why we accept nearly any vehicle, whether it’s drivable or not. From cars and trucks to motorcycles and boats, your donation can help fund our vital benefits-research services for local residents. Every vehicle you donate contributes to connecting Fort Worth families with essential programs, such as SNAP and Medicaid. Your generosity not only helps those in need but also declutters your life by giving new purpose to an unwanted vehicle. Join us in making a difference in our community!
Categories we accept
Most donated cars and sedans are either auctioned off or used for parts. If the vehicle has seen better days, we can recycle it in an environmentally friendly way, ensuring that every bit contributes to the cause.
With plenty of suburban families relying on sedans for school runs, your donation could help keep our community moving in Fort Worth.
Pickup trucks are highly sought after; they might be refurbished for resale or sold for parts. Many people in Fort Worth rely on them for work and play, so your donation can have a big impact.
From construction sites to weekend ranchers, pickup trucks are integral to Fort Worth life, making your donation even more meaningful.
SUVs and crossovers are often resold at auction or disassembled for valuable parts. They serve families and adventurers alike, making them a popular choice for donation.
With families needing space for kids and gear, your SUV donation could help keep Fort Worth active and vibrant.
Motorcycle donations typically go to auction or are sold for parts. Enthusiasts often seek unique bikes, turning your donation into a great opportunity for someone else.
Riding is a beloved pastime in Fort Worth, and your motorcycle can give someone another reason to hit the open road.

Boats are often sold at auction or dismantled for parts. They bring relaxation and fun but can become burdensome when no longer used.
Though Fort Worth isn’t a coastal town, many enjoy lakes and waterways, and your boat can help others experience those joys.
Commercial vehicles may be resold to businesses or auctioned off. They often are in high demand for both business use and parts.
With Fort Worth bustling with commerce, your commercial vehicle can help support local businesses and entrepreneurs.
Even non-running vehicles can be donated! They may be recycled for parts or scrapped responsibly, ensuring minimal waste.
In a city like Fort Worth where restoration projects are common, your non-running vehicle has the potential to be reborn.
Condition guide
When considering a vehicle donation, understanding its condition is essential. Running vehicles can be auctioned or sold for their market value, allowing their new owners to drive them away. Non-running vehicles, while not drivable, can still be valuable. They may be stripped for parts or recycled, contributing to our mission without adding waste. Don’t let a broken engine stop you from donating!
Vehicles with salvage titles may also be accepted, although they might face restrictions. A salvage title indicates that the vehicle has sustained significant damage, but it can still be of value for parts or recycling. We evaluate each submission on a case-by-case basis to ensure that even those vehicles that aren't roadworthy can be utilized effectively.
Title status
| Title status | Accepted? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| clean title | yes | Clean titles are straightforward for donation. These vehicles can be sold at auction or refurbished, maximizing their potential. |
| salvage | with restrictions | Salvage titles may be accepted but could involve more evaluation. These can often be used for parts or recycling. |
| rebuilt/reconstructed | case-by-case | Rebuilt titles require specific scrutiny. We assess their potential for auction or parts on an individual basis. |
| lienholder present | case-by-case | Vehicles with a lienholder require additional steps, as we must ensure all obligations are met before donation can proceed. |
| missing title | case-by-case | Missing titles complicate the donation process. We evaluate each case individually to find a viable solution. |
Pickup considerations
At Drive Change, we understand that not all vehicles are easily accessible. For immobile vehicles, our team is equipped to handle pickups regardless of their condition. Whether your vehicle is parked at an apartment complex, situated on a rural property, or even docked at a marina, we work to make the process as smooth as possible. Just let us know the specifics, and we’ll take care of the rest.
