Vehicle Donation Program
Turn an Unwanted Vehicle into Practical Support
Do you have a vehicle that is no longer needed?
Whether it forms part of a deceased estate, has been replaced, or is simply no longer being used, donating it to Lifeboat Survivors Support is a practical way to help survivors and their families.
Lifeboat Survivors Support is a registered charity that provides practical, personal and pastoral support to people whose lives have been affected by abuse. Every donated vehicle helps us continue this important work.
How Your Donation Helps
When a vehicle is donated to Lifeboat, it may be provided directly to a survivor or family member who needs reliable transport, helping them maintain employment, attend appointments, stay connected with family and community, and regain a greater sense of independence.
Where a vehicle is not required by a client, it may be sold to generate funds that support Lifeboat’s work and assistance programs.
In either case, your donation makes a meaningful difference. A vehicle that is no longer needed can become a valuable source of help, independence and opportunity for someone else.
Tax Deductibility
Where a donated vehicle is sold by Lifeboat, the proceeds are treated as a tax-deductible donation to Lifeboat’s charitable work.
