How do I donate a vehicle to NHPR?
Donating a vehicle to New Hampshire Public Radio is an easy process, but you’ll want to be aware of a few specific steps:
- Select the public radio station in New Hampshire you’d like to support
- Complete and sign your vehicle title
- Note: If your vehicle is missing its title, you can obtain a duplicate from the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles. You can find out how at the New Hampshire DMV website.
Can I donate things other than a car?
YES! New Hampshire has over half a million vehicles registered across the state, but it also has a ton of snowmobiles, ATVs, travel trailers and more, because of the recreational nature of the state. The average vehicle registered is 9.9 years old, significantly under the national average. But there are still thousands of cars in New Hampshire just sitting around 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 New Hampshire 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:
- Have your vehicle title ready.
- Click the link to the Car Talk Vehicle Donation Program to get started, call us at 1-877-215-0227 or you can choose the New Hampshire Public Radio Stations from the list below.
- Answer the questions about your car and yourself.
- Select a date and time to have your car picked up.
It’s really that easy.
What paperwork do I need to fill out when I donate a vehicle to NHPR?
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.
What should I expect on the day my donated vehicle is picked up?
Yes! All vehicles 20 years old or newer, or diesel vehicles 1997 or newer must pass an emissions inspection in New Hampshire. If your vehicle is currently clogging up your driveway because it wouldn’t pass, 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.
