More Car Donation Info

Your donation will benefit Islamic Outreach Services, to continue and improve our collective mission of disseminating the Message of Islam to the humanity. Islamic Outreach Services is working in conjunction with IslamiCity to promote and enhance Islamic education and an objective view of Islam around the world and specifically in the USA where there are heightened tensions and misconceptions that have been created since the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

We may arguably be the largest online presence on Islam. Since 1995, we have served millions of people as a meaningful resource on Islam. By the grace of God and your prayers, we has received several awards and recognitions.

Considering the increasing thirst for objective Islamic information, much more effort is warranted. With your support by donating your car, you will partner in the struggle to continue the mission of Prophet Muhammad (peace & blessings be upon him).

  5. When filling out the title, the donor must sign and print your name where it states "seller" exactly as it appears on the title. Please leave the buyer's section blank. Also the donor needs to mail the release of liability to the DMV to release ownership of that vehicle. On this "release liability" paper, write "HADI (IslamiCity)" in the space marked 'buyer' or 'purchaser'. Again keep the buyer section blank on paper that given to the towing car driver
