Donate Your Used Scooter and Get a Tax Deduction

---

Join us in partnership with LaMoto of Washington and George Mason University (GMU) to provide reliable, recycled scooter transportation to needy and deserving students. 

Your tax deductible donation of a used scooter can make a difference to a GMU student who is unable to attend classes or make it to work due to financial and transportation limitations.

We welcome scooters of any type and size, in any condition, running or not running. (For those who can, donating a premium brand Vespa scooter is considered especially generous). It is even possible to donate your scooter without a title, but if you have a title or DMV registration it will be even easier for us to gift your scooter.

First, message us regarding your scooter donation. After gathering some basic information, VCDC volunteers will pick up your donated scooter and carry out all the necessary repairs to make it road worthy once again. In addition, the student who is gifted your scooter will receive instruction on factory recommended maintenance and how to operate your scooter safely.

Because we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, you may claim a tax deduction based on your scooter’s fair market value. As required by the IRS, we will provide you with a donation receipt stating the fair market value of your scooter (the donation value), and include the IRS 1098-c form for your tax records.

Best of all, your donation will support and benefit a deserving GMU student.
