Vehicles for Charity
The Community Idea Stations have partnered with Vehicles for Charity to provide you with an additional way to support your Community Idea Stations. We’ll pick up your unwanted car, truck or other vehicle free of charge and provide you with a receipt for your donation for tax purposes. In one simple step, clean out your garage, get a tax deduction* and support your favorite station!

Who Benefits?
When you donate your vehicle to this program, we receive 70 percent of the net proceeds; the other 30 percent goes to the Metropolitan Association for Retarded Citizens of Colorado. So the entire net proceeds of your donation benefit non-profit organizations, with the largest portion coming to us.

For more details, just call the toll-free hotline at 866.628.CARS or visit the Vehicles for Charity Web site. You’ll find an online form on which you can specify which station you wish your donation to benefit: WCVE Richmond PBS, WHTJ Charlottesville PBS, or 88.9 WCVE/89.1 WCNV.

If you have questions about our car donation program, please call Lisa Tait at 804.560.8142 or send her email at

*You may claim up to $500 as a fair market value without special documentation. Beyond $500, the law allows a deduction equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of your donated vehicle. Vehicles for Charity will provide you with this information from the sale of your vehicle within 30 days. This information is not intended as tax advice; you should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
