LAist
Vehicle Donation

Our Mission

LAist (formerly KPCC) is member-supported local news and NPR programming for Southern California. Two-thirds of our funding comes from individual supporters, including over $1.5m raised from those who donate their vehicles.

Our mission is to strengthen the civic and cultural bonds that unite Southern California's diverse communities by providing the highest quality news and information service through radio and other interactive media. We will be a public forum that engages its audiences in an ongoing dialogue and exploration of issues, events and cultures in the region and in the world, seeking to provide greater understanding and new perspectives to the people of these communities and their leaders.

Make A Difference

Donate your vehicle to LAist by simply completing the form below and we'll reach out to you to arrange the pick-up of your vehicle donation, at no cost to you. You may qualify for a tax deduction while supporting a cause that is near and dear to your heart!

Vehicle donation pick-up is always free to you and most vehicles can be picked up within 24-72 hours. You'll receive an initial car donation receipt upon pick-up and then our team will work to turn your car into cash to support our cause. Our friendly Donor Support Representatives are here 7 days a week to assist throughout the process.
