Vehicle Donations
Vehicle Donation Is Easy
Are you expecting to sell or trade-in a vehicle soon? If you would like to avoid a low trade-in value from a dealer, or the hassle and anxiety of selling it yourself, take advantage of the KCTS 9 Vehicle Donation Program. It's easy and convenient for you and will help KCTS 9 bring you more of the quality programs and services you enjoy.
Here's how it works:
- Just call CARS* at 877-KCTS-9-CAR (877-528-7922) or fill out the secure Car Donation Form online.
- The CARS representative will schedule a pick up that's convenient for you (vehicles can be picked up from almost any location in the U.S. and B.C.).
- CARS will then sell the vehicle at auction and KCTS 9 will receive approximately 70% of the net proceeds!
- You may receive a sizable tax deduction. (To find out specifically how much benefit you will receive from donating your vehicle, you'll want to contact your tax professional.)
- The proceeds from the donation will help KCTS 9 continue to bring you programs that inform, involve, and inspire!
*After carefully reviewing the nation's leading vehicle donation service providers, we have selected CARS (Charitable Auto Resources Inc.) to operate the KCTS 9 Vehicle Donation Program.

Donating your car to KCTS could earn you over $500 of incentives in the City of Seattle’s
