At Maine Motors Giveback, we understand the spirit of adventure that comes with owning an ATV, UTV, or Side-by-Side. Whether you’ve enjoyed countless weekends exploring Maine’s rugged trails or have used your vehicle for farm chores, it’s time to pass that joy on. Donating your four-wheeler not only provides you with a tax deduction but also supports community initiatives that enhance the lives of others in our beautiful state.
Many of our donors are individuals who have transitioned to new hobbies or simply have vehicles that are no longer in use. Whether your ATV has been a reliable companion on hunting trips or your UTV has made ranch work easier, these vehicles are built for purpose and adventure. With your help, we can ensure that they continue to serve the community while providing you with the satisfaction of giving back.

How pickup works
When you donate an ATV, UTV, or Side-by-Side, our pickup process is designed for your convenience. In many cases, we can pick up your vehicle using a small flatbed or trailer, especially if it’s off-road only and lacks a title. Our team will coordinate with you to ensure a smooth pickup from your location, whether it's a hunting cabin, ranch, or garage. If your vehicle requires special handling, such as being stored in a remote location, we can manage the logistics to fit your needs. Don’t worry about the condition—whether drivable or not, we’re equipped to assist you!
What drives donation value
The value of your donation is influenced by several factors. For instance, ATVs and UTVs that have more hours of use than mileage tend to hold their value better, especially popular models like the Polaris RZR or Can-Am UTVs. Well-maintained vehicles with service records can command a higher value, while those with cosmetic issues may see a reduction. However, if the unit runs well, it likely will carry a premium value, even if it has some dents or plastic fade. Non-running vehicles can still yield parts value, ensuring your donation helps others even in a non-operational state.
Documentation you need
- Bill of sale or MSO for off-road vehicles
- Service records (if available)
- Appraisal for classic models (IRS Form 8283 Section B)
- Current registration (if applicable)
- Identification for the donor
Maine specifics
In Maine, the regulations for donating ATVs and UTVs can vary. If your vehicle is off-road only, it may not have a traditional title, but a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) or bill of sale can suffice. It's important to ensure that the VIN or engine number is consistent for identification. The Maine DMV has specific guidelines that we can help navigate to facilitate your donation smoothly. We work with donors to ensure compliance with state laws while maximizing the value of their contributions.
