At Alabamotion, we passionately advocate for veterans in Alabama by supporting vital programs dedicated to transitional housing, PTSD and TBI rehabilitation, and job placement services. Our mission ensures that every vehicle donation directly translates into support for those who served our country. When donors choose to donate their cars, trucks, or SUVs, they are not just giving a vehicle; they are giving hope and a second chance to homeless veterans.
Our vetted partners include a range of respected local and national veterans service organizations (VSOs) committed to improving the lives of veterans. Each vehicle donation is allocated based on the donor's intent, ensuring that the proceeds support the most effective programs. We carefully verify the IRS ruling letter status of our partners to ensure transparency and trust in every contribution made.

How we vet charity partners
IRS 501(c)(3) Ruling Letter
Verify that the charity has an IRS 501(c)(3) ruling letter, confirming its tax-exempt status and compliance with federal regulations, ensuring that your donations are tax-deductible.
Charity Navigator Rating
Check the charity's rating on Charity Navigator for a transparent assessment of its financial health and program effectiveness, ensuring that a majority of funds go directly to programs.
Form 990 Transparency
Review the charity's Form 990 filings to understand their financial activities, operational transparency, and the allocation of funds towards programs versus administrative expenses.
State Registration
Confirm that the charity is registered with the state of Alabama, adhering to local regulations. This ensures accountability and compliance with state charity laws.
What your donation funds
A vehicle sale generating between $1,500 and $3,000 can significantly impact a veteran’s life. For instance, the funds could provide essential services such as transitional housing for multiple homeless veterans, covering accommodation and basic needs for a crucial period. Alternatively, these funds could facilitate PTSD rehabilitation programs, offering therapy sessions and resources to help veterans reclaim their lives after service. Each donation is a step towards transforming lives and rebuilding futures.
How we route proceeds
At Alabamotion, we meticulously verify the eligibility of our partner organizations before routing proceeds from vehicle donations. We ensure that each partner meets stringent criteria, including having a valid IRS 501(c)(3) status and a proven track record of successful programs. This verification process allows us to align donations with partners best suited to address the needs of Alabama's veterans, ensuring that every dollar contributes meaningfully.
