Ford has been building America's most trusted vehicles for over a century — trucks that work as hard as the people who drive them, muscle cars that defined a generation, and family haulers that have carried millions of households through decades of daily life. If your Ford is ready to move on, donating it to Vehicles For Veterans puts its remaining value to work for American veterans charity programs across the country.

Ford's reputation for building tough, long-lasting vehicles creates a motivated auction buyer pool that shows up consistently. Buyers who want a proven American truck, SUV, or performance car know exactly where to look — and that demand drives competitive bidding that maximizes proceeds for American veterans charity programs.
Every dollar your Ford generates goes toward the crucial services that American veterans and their families depend on. Learn how your vehicle donation directly supports American veterans and their families through the programs we fund.
Car Donation Foundation d/b/a Vehicles For Veterans has donated over $192 million to worthy charities since 2010. Your Ford donation generates flexible funding for American veterans charity programs — organizations providing housing assistance, mental health support, adaptive equipment, service dogs, and community resources to veterans and their families nationwide.
We work with a wide range of American veterans charities across the country. View our full list of partner organizations to see who your donation benefits.
We accept most Ford vehicles in most conditions on a case-by-case basis.
The F-150 is America's best-selling vehicle — full stop. Its combination of powertrain options, legendary durability, and broad buyer appeal makes it one of the strongest donation vehicles we receive. Work truck buyers, lifestyle truck buyers, and towing-focused buyers all show up for F-150s, keeping demand consistently high across every trim from XL to Platinum.
Heavy-duty Super Duty models — F-250, F-350, and F-450 — attract serious commercial buyers who need genuine capability and are willing to pay for it. Diesel-powered Super Duty trucks in particular generate strong auction results from contractors and fleet buyers who specifically pursue them. The compact Maverick hybrid pickup draws efficiency-focused buyers who want truck utility in an accessible package, while the mid-size Ranger appeals to buyers who want truck capability without full-size dimensions.
The Mustang is one of the most iconic American vehicles ever built — a pony car that has carried the spirit of American performance for over six decades. At auction, the Mustang attracts a buyer community unlike almost anything else in its price range. Collectors, enthusiasts, and first-time muscle car buyers all compete for clean examples, and that competition benefits the veterans your donation supports.
From EcoBoost models to GT, Mach 1, Shelby GT350, and GT500 variants, every Mustang generation has its advocates. Classic Mustangs from the 1960s and early 1970s — particularly documented fastbacks and convertibles — are genuine collector vehicles that can generate auction proceeds capable of funding significant veterans program support on their own. The current Dark Horse edition and recent Shelby variants attract buyers who follow the market closely and bid accordingly.
The Bronco revival generated immediate and intense enthusiasm from buyers who had waited decades for its return — and that enthusiasm shows up at auction every time a clean example crosses the block. Its removable doors and roof, Trail-Rated capability, and available Sasquatch package create a vehicle that buyers pursue with genuine passion.
The original Bronco (1966–1996) has become a full-blown American classic. Early first-generation Broncos in good condition command serious collector prices from buyers who recognize their place in American automotive history. The Bronco Sport fills the compact off-road crossover space with strong appeal among buyers who want Bronco character in a more practical footprint.
The Explorer has been one of America's most popular three-row SUVs for decades, and its auction demand reflects both its popularity and its reputation for longevity. The full-size Expedition brings exceptional towing capacity and spacious interior space to buyers who need genuine family hauling capability. The Mustang Mach-E appeals to EV buyers seeking Ford's performance heritage in an electrified package.
The compact Escape — available in hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants — draws practical, efficiency-focused buyers across every trim level. The Edge mid-size crossover finds a steady buyer pool among families who want composed driving dynamics alongside everyday practicality. Every one of these donations generates proceeds that fund vital veterans programs.
The Fusion sedan — discontinued in 2020 — built a devoted following for its blend of efficiency and refinement, and clean examples continue to attract buyers who valued its particular character. The Taurus, once America's best-selling car, generates solid proceeds especially in high-performance SHO variants. The Focus, including ST and RS performance versions, has developed a strong enthusiast following that keeps values active on clean examples.
The Crown Victoria deserves special mention — beloved by law enforcement, taxi fleets, and practical buyers alike for its durable body-on-frame construction and powerful V8. Clean Crown Victoria examples attract buyers who prize mechanical longevity above all else, and their auction results reflect that loyalty.
The F-150 Lightning brings Ford's legendary truck reputation to an all-electric platform — its combination of genuine truck capability and zero-emission credentials attracts a motivated pool of buyers who want American-built EV performance. The E-Transit commercial van appeals to businesses transitioning to electric fleets and generates strong interest from commercial buyers with specific needs.
Classic Fords hold special appeal for collectors and restoration enthusiasts. Fox Body Mustangs (1979–1993) are climbing in value, early F-Series trucks from the 1970s and 1980s command impressive prices among restoration buyers, and the original Bronco continues to appreciate steadily. Classic full-size Fords — the LTD, Galaxie, Fairlane, and Torino — find enthusiastic buyers who grew up with these cars and want them back.
Fords from the 1990s and 2000s represent proven reliability at accessible prices. The Crown Victoria, earlier Explorer and Expedition generations, diesel-powered Super Duty trucks, and the beloved Ford Ranger from this era all retain meaningful value with practical buyers. Recently retired models like the Flex crossover and Fiesta ST maintain strong followings among buyers who appreciated their distinctive character.
We evaluate every vehicle on a case-by-case basis. If you are unsure whether we accept your older Ford, here is what to know before donating an older vehicle.
Step One: Call 1-855-811-4838 or fill out our online donation form. We accept most Fords in most conditions on a case-by-case basis — our team is happy to answer any questions about your specific vehicle.
Step Two: We arrange free towing at a time that works for your schedule, whether your Ford is running or not. We come to you.
Step Three: After your vehicle sells, we mail your tax-deductible receipt reflecting the final sale value. Save it for tax time.
Your tax deduction reflects what your Ford sells for at auction — we do not estimate or promise a figure in advance. When your vehicle sells for more than $500, your deduction reflects that final sale price and we provide IRS Form 1098-C. If your vehicle sells for under $500, you may be able to claim fair market value up to that amount.
Ford's reputation as America's truck leader and performance icon means motivated buyers show up consistently — and that buyer interest drives the strongest possible return for American veterans charity programs.
Of the 19.6 million veterans in the United States, many rely on the programs your donation helps fund — housing assistance for veterans in transition, mental health care for those carrying the invisible wounds of service, adaptive equipment that restores independence, and service dogs that change lives.
Ford has always built vehicles for the people who get things done. Your donation carries that same spirit forward — for the veterans who gave everything in service to this country.
