Donate a Vehicle

Why Donate Your Vehicle to Idaho Youth Ranch?

Funds from vehicle donations directly support life-changing mental health services for youth and families across Idaho.

Last year alone, vehicle donations funded over 2,000 hours of therapy.
From crisis intervention to long-term healing, these sessions offered vital support to young people navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and more.

Thanks to generous donors like you, we're making a real difference — one mile, one session, one life at a time.

But the need is still great.
Thousands of youth across Idaho are waiting for hope and healing. Idaho ranks 6th in the nation for most suicides in youth age 13-17 years old.

Your vehicle could help provide the critical care they deserve and could quite literally save a life.

Ready to make an impact?

Donating is easy, free, and may qualify as a tax deduction.
Whether it runs or not, your vehicle can fuel the journey toward healing.

We Make it Easy & Rewarding

We are grateful for your donation, and we show it every step of the way.

We’ve been a trusted name in vehicle donation in Idaho for many years, with the experience to make the process simple and maximize the benefits for you!

Maximize Your Benefits

It matters who you donate to and how the vehicle is sold. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and we sell your vehicle ourselves! That means more of your car’s full retail value goes directly to helping kids—not to middlemen or third parties.

  • This helps you maximize your tax deduction.
  • Your donation qualifies for a $500 IRS tax deduction—even if it sells for less.
  • You'll receive a receipt with all the IRS-required tax information.

Maximize Your Gift & Impact

When you donate to Idaho Youth Ranch, you're investing in the lives of Idaho kids.

  • Every penny stays local to help Idaho families get the support they need.
  • Your gift funds services like emergency shelter, counseling & therapy, residential care, job training, adoption services & more.

You're not just donating a vehicle—you’re giving a child the tools to thrive.

Our Mission:

We unite for Idaho's youth by providing accessible programs and services that nurture hope, healing and resilience.

At Idaho Youth Ranch, we believe every young person deserves a chance to thrive. When you donate your vehicle, you help fund life-changing programs that provide healing, hope, and opportunity to Idaho’s most vulnerable youth. Your gift supports therapy, crisis care, job readiness, and more—empowering kids to overcome trauma, build confidence, and create a brighter future.

All donations provide hope
for Idaho's youth.

Our Donors Are Talking!

“We donated a car to the IYR program and were genuinely impressed with the results. After researching other donation options, IYR stood out. Many programs run vehicles through auctions with a lot of fees, but this felt different. The process was smooth, and based on the net donation amount, we felt confident that the car was sold for close to its full value. No hassle — just an easy way to support a great organization.” - Tom, Boise

"Idaho Youth Ranch Auto Sales has been GREAT to work with!!! I donated a vehicle to them, and it was a quick, wonderful process!!! They picked up my car the same day I spoke with them, and the donation goes towards a great cause serving our youth!!!" Eric, Boise
