501(c)(3) Compliance

Yes. The Better World Foundation Inc. is a fully registered 501(c)(3) public charity. All structural contributions — including operational vehicles, industrial trailers, fleet assets, household appliances, scrap metals, and direct financial gifts — qualify for maximum federal tax deductions under current IRS regulations. Your donation is deductible to the full extent permitted by law.

Once asset retrieval and title transfer are completed, our administrative team processes formal intake documentation. Donors receive an official IRS-compliant 501(c)(3) written acknowledgment. For qualified vehicle donations exceeding $500 in value, IRS Form 1098-C will be issued within 30 days of sale or material improvement, detailing maximum tax deduction eligibility under current federal tax laws.

Our federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) is 87-0904818. This number confirms our registration as a public charity with the IRS under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. You may verify our status at any time through the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search tool at apps.irs.gov.

Absolutely not. Our vehicle retrieval service is 100% free to all donors. We handle all towing, hauling, and logistics at zero cost to you, anywhere in Arizona. There are no hidden fees, no paperwork burdens, and no obligations beyond the donation itself.

We accept a wide range of assets including cars, trucks, SUVs, RVs, ATVs, motorcycles, boats, campers, 5th wheels, trailers, large household appliances, scrap metals, and electronics. We accept vehicles in any condition — running or non-running, with or without titles, damaged, or long-sitting. If you are unsure whether your item qualifies, call us at (602)-691-8575 and we will let you know right away.

Every asset we receive is evaluated for its highest and best use. Vehicles and items that can be safely reconditioned are gifted directly to Arizona single parents and low-income families in need. Assets that cannot be reconditioned are carefully disassembled — reusable parts are salvaged, and all raw metals and components are routed into certified eco-friendly recycling streams through our partnership with Ace Recycling. Nothing goes to waste.

Scheduling is simple. Call or text us at (602)-691-8575, or email us at [email protected]. You can also fill out the pickup request form on our Contact Us page. Our coordination team will confirm a pickup window that works for your schedule, typically within a few business days.
