By focusing on these critical programs, Velocity Vehicle aims to bridge this divide, ensuring that those who qualify receive the benefits they need.

Our team works diligently to raise awareness and provide guidance, connecting families with resources that can significantly improve their quality of life. This initiative not only empowers families but also strengthens communities.
Funding for this vital research comes directly from vehicle donations. Unlike traditional grants or fundraising methods that can be inconsistent, car donations provide a sustainable funding source. Each vehicle donated translates into crucial research hours, enabling us to continue our mission of connecting Massachusetts residents with the benefits they undoubtedly deserve.
At Velocity Vehicle, we turn any vehicle into research hours for Massachusetts. Whether it's a car, truck, or motorcycle, your donation helps us gather data to identify families who qualify for valuable state benefits.

Everything you need to know about maximizing your tax deduction when donating a vehicle in Massachusetts.
When you donate a vehicle, the IRS requires you to receive a Form 1098-C that verifies your donation. The value you can deduct on your taxes is generally the fair market value (FMV) of the vehicle at the time of donation. However, if the vehicle is sold for less than $500, the deduction can be the sale price or $500, whichever is greater.
In Massachusetts, tax treatment of car donations follows similar guidelines, allowing you to claim the FMV as a deduction. For example, if you donated a vehicle that is valued at $2,000, you could claim that amount, helping to reduce your taxable income. Proper documentation is crucial to ensure a smooth tax filing experience.
Managing the paperwork can be overwhelming, but with Velocity Vehicle, you don’t have to navigate it alone. We handle all documentation associated with your vehicle donation, ensuring the net value of your contribution flows directly to our research efforts. This means more resources for helping families uncover their eligible benefits.
