  Donations

 

Online Donation Form

Individual donations are the backbone of all of Houston Audubon's programs. Donations from individuals such as yourself are the driving force behind all of our education and sanctuary programs. Donations may be made in cash or by credit card. We also have special programs for donations of securities and motor vehicles.

Donations by credit card or check

Our secure online donation form may be used for donations with VISA or MasterCard. If you prefer to pay by check, please print out the form and return it with your check. You may also use this form for memorial and honorarium donations. If you prefer to make a donation by telephone, please call our office at 713-932-1639 (office hours are Monday-Friday, 9 AM - 5PM).

Vehicle Donations

Vehicle Donation Form

Donate your used car, truck, boat or RV to Houston Audubon. We'll arrange to have it picked up free of charge. We accept most vehicles, even if they don't run. Some restrictions may apply on older vehicles, though. It's easy and convenient, and you'll be eligible for a tax deduction as well! Donating your used vehicle is much easier than it is to sell it yourself. And the tax savings might even be more than what you would receive from a trade in. You'll also be spared the ordeal of selling your vehicle. To make a donation, please use our secure online Vehicle Donation Form. Car Program LLC will handle all the details, including pick up, title transfer and tax receipt. For more information, please contact Robin Leonard, Community Relations Director at 713-932-1639.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What can I donate?
We accept most vehicles and vessels including but not limited to cars, trucks, trailers, boats and RV's.

2. Is my donation tax deductible?
Yes. We have verified that all charities listed within this site are classified with the IRS as non-profit charitable organizations. Donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. Individual tax situations vary so please check with a tax professional to determine what if any tax benefit you may receive.

3. What do I need to donate my vehicle?
We would like the title to the vehicle, but if you do not have it please call us anyway. It is possible that other arrangements may be made.

4. My car hasn't run in years. Can I still donate it?
Yes, we are able to accept most vehicles running or not (exceptions include older vehicles whose value would not offset the cost of towing).

We will arrange to have your vehicle towed away by a professionally licensed, bonded and insured towing company.
