At WheelWise, we understand the unique challenges faced by our veterans. Many of them transition into civilian life struggling with homelessness, PTSD, and the complexities of VA claims. By donating your vehicle, you can help fund crucial services that address these issues, ensuring that no veteran is left behind.
Donors choose to support veterans' charities because they recognize the sacrifices made by those who served our country. Your vehicle donation can directly contribute to funding transitional housing, rehabilitation programs, service-dog initiatives, and more. We partner with reputable veterans service organizations to ensure your gift is used effectively and responsibly.

How we vet charity partners
IRS 501(c)(3) ruling letter
Ensure the charity has an IRS 501(c)(3) status, confirming it's a recognized tax-exempt organization. This status assures you that your donation is tax-deductible and that the organization is accountable.
Charity Navigator rating
Check the charity's Charity Navigator rating to evaluate its financial health and accountability. A higher star rating reflects effective management of funds and programs that directly benefit veterans.
Form 990 transparency
Look for the organization’s Form 990, which provides detailed financial information. Transparency in reporting helps you understand how funds are allocated between programs and overhead costs.
State registration
Verify the charity’s registration with the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office. This ensures compliance with state regulations and helps protect your donation from fraudulent activities.
What your donation funds
Your vehicle donation can fund essential services for veterans in our community. For instance, a sale valued between $1,500 and $3,000 could help provide housing support for a homeless veteran or contribute to a rehabilitation program for PTSD. Every dollar raised goes towards making a difference in their lives, enabling them to find stability and support within their community.
How we route proceeds
At WheelWise, we take the vetting process seriously. Before routing proceeds from vehicle donations, we rigorously verify the eligibility of our partner organizations. This includes confirming their IRS 501(c)(3) status and reviewing their performance metrics to ensure they align with our mission of supporting veterans effectively. We strive to connect donors with partners that best reflect their intentions.
