Yes as a matter of fact you can! Not only can you donate it but you are likely to get more for your car than you would if you tried to sell it.

Selling a car that is broken is a real pain in the butt. By the time you list it, negotiate with buyers, dealing with their extremely low offers etc. Its just easier to donate it to charity and tack the write off on your taxes. You will not only be making your neighbors happy by removing the eyesore from its parking spot, you will be donating it to a good cause.
What will a charity do with a broken car?
There are a number of ways a charity can make money off your broken car donation. After you donate a car they could have it towed to a salvage yard where they will buy your donated car for the parts that have value. Even if your car does not have an engine in it there are still many parts that hold value. They can can use every button, wire and piece of it.
The car I want to donate to charity has no valuable pieces!
Yes it does! even if there are no parts on your car that can be re-used do to severe rust and weathering your donated car still holds value. They can take your car to a junkyard and they will pay per pound for the scrap steel. Its better than having sit on the side of your house no?
In summary there are many charities that state directly they will accept your car whether it runs or not. You might be surprised the value it holds, and how nice the deduction on your taxes might be.
