Donating your vehicle to the Petersen Museum can also come with meaningful tax benefits. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, vehicle donations are typically tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Once your donation is accepted, we’ll provide the necessary documentation for your records. We always recommend checking with a tax professional to understand how this may benefit you personally.
