What paperwork do I need to complete to donate a car to Nebraska Public Media?
Vehicle Title: In order to complete your Nebraska car donation, transfer your title by PRINTING and SIGNING your name in the correct field in the box labeled “SELLER MUST COMPLETE” on the FRONT of the title, and make sure it’s EXACTLY as it appears printed on the front of the title.
What should I expect on the day of pickup?
The day of your scheduled vehicle pickup, you’ll need to provide the driver with the completed title, along with the keys. After the vehicle sells, you'll receive a vehicle donation receipt for tax purposes.
Can I donate something other than a car to Nebraska Public Media?
Absolutely. Nebraska has about 685,000 vehicles registered across the state, but that doesn’t include things like snowmobiles, ATVs, boats and travel trailers. We’ll accept those, too!
The average vehicle registered is 13.7 years old, more than two years older than the national average. That means there may be tens of thousands of cars sitting around in the state that you wouldn’t pay to fix if somebody dared you. But forgotten, unused, unloved cars are a great source of funding for your favorite local public radio station.
While the best part of donating a car in Nebraska is the support you provide to the people who deliver news, music and insightful talk to your radio every single day, the second best part is how easy it is to donate.
My car won’t run. Is it still ok to donate to Nebraska Public Media?
Yes! If your vehicle is currently clogging up your driveway because it died, we’ll help you get rid of it and you’ll put it to good use. A vehicle donation is a great way to move that car along and support your favorite public radio station.
