If you are a San Francisco resident who would like to support the Friends of the Urban Forest in its efforts to “Green" your city, donating your old car, truck, or other unwanted vehicle is an easy and effective way to do so.

The FUF will benefit from your gift and you will benefit too. By letting the Vehicle Donation Processing Center take care of the details, you won't have to deal with Department of Motor Vehicles paperwork and emissions regulations. You also won't have to spend time advertising and showing your vehicle in order to sell it. Other benefits include free vehicle pick-up whether your donated car is running or not (some restrictions apply), and qualifying for a tax deduction.

Your vehicle donation earns revenue for the organization and the Vehicle Donation Processing Center does all the work. After administrative costs are deducted, the Friends of the Urban Forest will receive half of the net proceeds.

When you decide to support the Friends of the Urban Forest's valuable work by donating your car or other unwanted vehicle, the Vehicle Donation Processing Center helps you dispose of unwanted property and make an important charitable contribution as well! Whether you prefer to go online or speak with a live operator on the phone, get started right now on this quick and easy process.
