The full process
Inquiry and Information
Start your journey by reaching out to Ride to Relief through our website or phone. We’ll guide you through the donation process, answering any questions you may have. By providing us with some basic information about your vehicle, you’ll take the first step towards helping your neighbors in Colorado gain access to essential services. Your inquiry is the foundation for making a local impact!
Vehicle Details Submission
During the next couple of days, you'll provide us with details about your vehicle, including the make, model, year, and condition. This information is crucial as it helps us determine the best approach for your donation. Remember, whether your car is in excellent shape or needs some love, it’s still valuable to the community and can help fund important programs right here in Colorado.
Pickup Scheduling
Once we have the necessary details, we’ll contact you to schedule a convenient pickup time. We understand that your time is valuable, and we strive to make this process as easy as possible. Whether you live in Denver, Colorado Springs, or somewhere in between, we’ll ensure that the pickup fits your schedule, making this a hassle-free experience.
Vehicle Pickup
On the scheduled day, our team will arrive at your location to pick up your vehicle. We’ll handle all the logistics, making it a smooth experience for you. You don’t need to worry about towing or transport – we take care of everything. Just imagine, while you hand over your keys, you’re opening doors to essential benefits for your fellow Coloradans!
Transport to Auction or Recycling
After pickup, your vehicle will be transported to either an auction house or a recycling facility. We make sure to evaluate the best possible route for your donation. This step maximizes the proceeds that will go back into our community programs. By choosing to recycle or auction your car, you’re directly contributing to helping local families who need assistance in Colorado.
Proceeds to Research Services
The funds generated from your vehicle donation will support our extensive research services, which help connect residents to essential benefits like Health First Colorado and LEAP. By understanding the needs of our community better, we can direct resources where they are most needed. Your contribution is truly changing lives and providing hope to many Coloradans.
Tax Receipt Issuance
Once the vehicle has been auctioned or recycled, we’ll send you a tax receipt for your generous donation. This document not only acknowledges your contribution but also allows you to claim a tax deduction. It’s a win-win: you support your community and get some financial benefits for yourself at tax time!
