Ram became its own brand in 2010 — a recognition that its trucks had earned an identity all their own. Built for people who work hard, haul heavy, and expect their vehicle to show up every time, Ram has built a loyal owner base that knows the difference between a truck and a real truck. If yours is ready to move on, donating it to Vehicles For Veterans puts everything it was worth to work for American veterans charity programs across the country.

Ram owners and veterans share something in common — they both understand what it means to show up when it counts. Ram built its reputation on trucks that work as hard as the people who drive them. Vehicles For Veterans puts the value of those trucks to work for American veterans charity programs that provide real, meaningful support to the men and women who served this country.
Not sure where to start? Here is everything you need to know about where and how to donate your car to benefit veterans.
Car Donation Foundation d/b/a Vehicles For Veterans has donated over $196 million to worthy charities since 2010. Your Ram 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.
Many veterans return home carrying challenges that are not always visible. The programs your donation funds include support for veterans navigating the symptoms of PTSD and related conditions — programs that make a genuine difference in the lives of veterans who need them most.
We accept most Ram vehicles in most conditions on a case-by-case basis.
The Ram 1500 is the heart of the brand and one of the most competitive half-ton trucks on the market. Its standard coil-rear suspension gives it a ride quality that surprises buyers coming from other trucks, and that reputation drives strong auction demand across every trim level. Tradesman and Big Horn trims attract work-focused buyers who want proven capability at an accessible price. Mid-range Laramie and Laramie Longhorn trims draw buyers who want genuine luxury appointments alongside truck utility — Ram's interior quality at these levels consistently turns heads at auction.
The Ram 1500 TRX — powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI producing 702 horsepower — occupies a category almost entirely its own. Performance truck buyers and collectors specifically hunt for clean TRX examples, and auction results reflect that demand accordingly. The Ram 1500 Classic, the previous-generation body style sold alongside the current truck, draws buyers who appreciate its proven platform and accessible price point. The 3.0-liter Duramax inline-six diesel option on the 1500 draws efficiency-focused buyers who want impressive fuel economy alongside serious towing capacity.
When serious work demands a serious truck, the Ram Heavy Duty lineup is where the brand's identity earns its name. The 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel is one of the most respected engines in the heavy-duty segment — its combination of torque output, fuel efficiency, and proven long-term durability creates a dedicated following that actively pursues diesel-equipped Heavy Duty trucks at auction. Buyers know what a well-maintained Cummins represents, and they bid accordingly.
Dually 3500 models — particularly in fifth-wheel and gooseneck towing configurations — command premium prices from buyers with serious hauling requirements who have limited alternatives at this capability level. Laramie Longhorn and Limited HD trims attract buyers who want maximum towing capability wrapped in a genuinely premium interior. Even high-mileage Heavy Duty trucks retain impressive value when properly maintained, because buyers understand what these engines are built to do.
Ram's medium-duty chassis cab trucks serve buyers who need purpose-built commercial capability — flatbeds, service bodies, dump inserts, and tow rigs. These vehicles attract specialized commercial buyers at auction who have limited alternatives and know what a well-maintained chassis cab is worth. A donated Ram chassis cab finds a motivated buyer and generates proceeds that fund vital veterans programs.
Ram's ProMaster lineup serves businesses and organizations that need serious cargo and passenger capacity. If your business or organization is ready to move on from a ProMaster, donating to Vehicles For Veterans puts its remaining value to work for American veterans charities while your organization moves forward.
The full-size ProMaster cargo van — available in multiple roof heights and wheelbases — draws buyers from delivery operations, tradespeople, and conversion van builders. The ProMaster passenger van attracts shuttle operators and organizations needing reliable multi-passenger transport. The compact ProMaster City appeals to urban delivery buyers and small business operators who need maneuverability alongside cargo capacity.
For businesses donating multiple vehicles or an entire fleet, we offer a dedicated program — learn more about our fleet vehicle donation service for businesses.
Please note: The charity reserves the right to sell a donated vehicle with logo or wrap unless otherwise prearranged and approved to cover additional costs. We strongly urge all donors to remove logos and wraps before vehicles are donated.
Before the Ram name stood alone, it rode on Dodge trucks that built the foundation for everything that followed. The first-generation Cummins-powered trucks — introduced in 1989 — have become legitimate collector vehicles, with clean examples commanding prices that reflect their historical significance as the trucks that changed the diesel pickup segment forever. The BR/BE generation Ram from 1994–2001 established the bold, cab-forward styling that turned heads and gained market share, and Cummins diesel examples from this era maintain a devoted following.
Third and fourth generation Rams represent proven, parts-plentiful trucks with a strong buyer base. The Ram Dakota mid-size pickup — discontinued in 2011 — has developed a quiet following among buyers who want truck utility in a more manageable footprint. We evaluate every vehicle on a case-by-case basis — and Ram's reputation for building trucks that go the distance means even high-mileage examples often retain more value than donors expect.
Step One: Call 1-855-811-4838 or fill out our online donation form. We accept most Ram vehicles 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 Ram 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 Ram 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.
Ram's strong resale reputation — particularly for diesel-powered and Heavy Duty models — means competitive bidding and stronger proceeds for American veterans charity programs. Want to make sure you are donating to a program you can trust? Here is how to verify a car donation program is legitimate and avoid scams.
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.
Ram builds trucks for people who do the work. Your donation puts that same work ethic to work for the veterans who earned everything this country has to offer.
