Car donation to a non-profit
organization is and has been an overlooked opportunity to benefit on both sides
of this contribution for many years. The car donor and the recipient benefit
simultaneously. The person who donates their car to charity can deduct a value
from their taxable income and the recipient obviously benefits by making use of
the vehicle.
Car donation can include virtually
any vehicle you wish to donate. You can donate a car, donate a truck, donate a
motorcycle, and even recreation vehicles like a boat or an RV.
Donating a car to charity is a great
way to rid your driveway of an unused vehicle, plus you are clearing the
clutter around your home. There's no need to accumulate cars that could be
donated to charity.
Helping the less fortunate and
knowing that you have contributed by improving their quality of life with a
tangible gift, one that they can put to good use, is far more personal and you
can be assured that the donation has gone directly to a recipient. So many
charities have administrative costs and fees that often consume cash donations
and the intended recipients may not actually see the fruits of your efforts.
Car donation charities actually
enlist the help of towing companies specifically, for pick-up and delivery of
donated cars, to make the car donation process all the more convenient for the
car donor.
If you currently donate to a charity
such as the American Heart Association, Saint Jude hospital, American Cancer
Society, or any number of organizations, you can donate your car and designate
what charity you want to the contribution to benefit. That way you can be
specific about who receives your donation. Giving becomes much easier when you
know where your money is going and being spent.
Each state has car donation
organizations in place for donating, pick-up, and delivery of your unwanted
vehicles.
