Other Ways to Give
Looking for other ways you can support your rivers?

Hundreds of companies across the US encourage employees to support their favorite charities by matching their donations. Through a matching gift program, your employer may double or even triple the impact of your donation to American Rivers. Many companies also match donations from retirees and spouses.

Donate Your Car
Donate your car, truck or other vehicle to support American Rivers. You’ll help us make a difference, and your generous gift could earn you a tax deduction.
Call 844-558-GIVE or visit americanrivers.careasy.org. Donating your car is easy and the pick-up is free!
Here’s how it works:
- Call 844-558-GIVE or submit the online vehicle donation form. Our Vehicle Donation Support Team will contact you to complete the donation and confirm your pick-up information.
- Schedule Your Free Pick-up. In most cases, your vehicle pick-up can be scheduled within three business days once the donation record has been completed.
- Receive a Donation Receipt. Vehicle donations are tax-deductible! An initial donation receipt is provided at the time of the pick-up. If the vehicle sells for $500 or less, donors are also mailed a thank-you letter within 30 days of the sale of the vehicle, which serves as a tax receipt. If the vehicle sells for more than $500 and the donor has provided their tax identification number, an IRS Form 1098-C will be mailed to the donor within 30 days of the sale stating the amount of gross proceeds (the maximum amount of your tax deduction) received from your donation. For specific tax-related questions, please consult a tax advisor.
