In Nebraska, a significant number of households are eligible for benefits but remain unenrolled. Among these, SNAP and Heritage Health (Medicaid) present the largest gaps, leaving families without the support they need. Studies indicate that many residents do not realize they qualify for these essential programs, which could alleviate their food insecurity and healthcare challenges.
Great Plains Autos actively works to close this enrollment gap through targeted research efforts. By analyzing data and connecting with communities, we identify eligible families and guide them through the enrollment process for benefits like SNAP, Heritage Health, ADC (TANF), WIC, and LIHEAP. Our mission is to ensure that every Nebraska family receives the assistance they are entitled to.
Vehicle donations provide a sustainable funding mechanism for this critical research. Unlike traditional grants or fundraising, the funds from donated vehicles directly underwrite the cost of research and outreach initiatives. Every car donation translates into research hours that help us reach more families and assist them in accessing the benefits they deserve.
At Great Plains Autos, we turn any vehicle into research hours dedicated to helping Nebraska families. Whether it's a car, truck, or van, every donation fuels our mission of uncovering available benefits for those who need them most.
Your generous contribution not only supports our research efforts but also empowers families to access crucial support programs they might not know they qualify for. Together, we can bridge the gap between eligibility and enrollment.

Everything you need to know about maximizing your tax deduction when donating a vehicle in Nebraska.
When donating a vehicle to Great Plains Autos, it's essential to understand the IRS rules regarding tax deductions. Typically, the IRS allows you to deduct the fair market value of your vehicle or the sale price if the vehicle sells for more than $500. To claim this deduction, a Form 1098-C will be provided, detailing the contribution for your records.
In Nebraska, the state tax treatment of vehicle donations mirrors federal guidelines. For example, if your vehicle sells for $1,000, you can deduct that amount from your taxable income. Keep in mind that you should retain documents and any communication from Great Plains Autos regarding your donation.
A worked example is simple: if you donate a vehicle with a fair market value of $3,000 and it sells for $2,500, you can claim a deduction of $2,500. This not only benefits your taxes but also supports the vital research that connects families to benefits.
Great Plains Autos handles all the paperwork, ensuring that your donation's net value effectively flows into our research efforts. With your help, we can reach more Nebraska families and assist them in accessing necessary resources.
