Donating a Vehicle to Autism Speaks


Greg Gerkens served as the assistant principal for Eastern Suffolk BOCES from 2013 to 2016. Prior to this position, he worked as a special education science teacher for the Wyandanch Union Free School District in Wyandanch, New York. In addition to his work in education, Greg Gerkens has participated in activities for Autism Speaks, an organization dedicated to providing information and help to individuals and families dealing with autism spectrum disorder. 

As a nonprofit organization, Autism Speaks relies heavily on donations from supporters. One substantial way you can help is by donating a vehicle to the organization. Autism Speaks accepts multiple types of vehicles, including cars and trucks, boats, motorcycles, and trailers. 

Prospective donors can visit the organization’s website and fill out a quick form regarding themselves and the vehicle they would like to donate. Alternately, donors can call Autism Speaks to set up the donation by phone. Once an appointment is set, Autism Speaks will pick up and tow your vehicle for free, providing you with a donation receipt. Once the organization sells your vehicle, they will mail you a tax receipt so you can write the donation off as a deduction come tax season.
