In Tulsa, it’s estimated that thousands of families, particularly in neighborhoods like North Tulsa and West Tulsa, are missing out on essential benefits like Oklahoma SNAP and SoonerCare. Many of these residents may not realize they qualify for assistance with food, healthcare, or housing. Our goal at Tulsa Auto Bridge is to uncover these opportunities and ensure that everyone has access to the support they need.
With our comprehensive research service, we strive to connect eligible residents with benefits they might not know they qualify for. Each vehicle donation we receive underwrites research efforts that help families navigate the complex landscape of available resources, whether it’s securing TANF assistance for struggling parents or enrolling children in SoonerCare for better healthcare access.
Donating your vehicle is the cleanest way to support this mission. Unlike traditional fundraising methods, which often involve many layers of cost, your car donation flows directly into funding research hours. When you donate your old truck parked in your garage, you help us bridge the gap between families and the benefits they deserve without any middlemen taking a cut.
At Tulsa Auto Bridge, we can turn nearly anything into valuable research hours. Whether it’s the old car sitting in the Mission Hills garage, or that truck that failed inspection in Brighton, we accept vehicles in any condition! Cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, boats, and RVs are all welcome — running or not.
Every vehicle donation strengthens our community. Even if your vehicle has seen better days, its value can still contribute significantly to helping your neighbors access essential benefits like WIC or LIHEAP. Let us handle the logistics while you support a great cause!

Once the vehicle assessment is complete, we'll coordinate with you to schedule a convenient pickup time. This hassle-free process allows you to easily part with your vehicle while knowing it will help fund vital benefits research in Tulsa.

Everything you need to know about maximizing your tax deduction when donating a vehicle in Oklahoma.
When you donate your vehicle to Tulsa Auto Bridge, you’ll receive IRS Form 1098-C, which documents your donation for tax purposes. The amount you can deduct typically corresponds to the fair market value of the vehicle or the sale price if we sell it for you. Be sure to itemize this deduction when filing your taxes to maximize your benefits.
In Oklahoma, any tax deduction you claim from your vehicle donation can effectively lower your taxable income. For instance, if your old car is valued at $2,000, that reduces your taxable income by that same amount. By donating through Tulsa Auto Bridge, you also avoid any complicated sale processes, allowing us to directly fund our benefits research.
Remember, we handle all the paperwork on your behalf. This means the donation's net value directly supports our mission without any middleman fees. All you need to do is enjoy the peace of mind that comes from supporting research that connects your neighbors to vital benefits.

Everything you need to know about the paperwork for donating your car in OK.
To transfer the title of a donated vehicle in Oklahoma, sign the title in the designated area on the back. Oklahoma does not require notarization for this process. Once signed, you should notify the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (DPS) of the transfer, which can be done online or in person. If there's a lien holder, ensure their release is secured before the transfer. If you've lost the title, you can apply for a duplicate at your local DPS office.
After the donation is finalized, Tulsa Auto Bridge will take care of all necessary paperwork to ensure the transfer is seamless. This supports our mission to connect residents with benefits efficiently while helping to keep Tulsa's community strong.
Locate the signature area on the back of the title and sign your name clearly to complete the transfer.
Remove the vehicle's license plates before the pickup, as Oklahoma law requires you to keep them for your next vehicle.
Contact your insurance company to cancel your vehicle insurance policy, effective on the day of donation.
Notify the Oklahoma DPS of the transfer either through their website or in person, helping to keep their records accurate.
After notification, Tulsa Auto Bridge will manage the remaining paperwork for the title transfer without further action needed from you.
