Cars Helping America

There are a number of reasons that you should donate your car, the first of which being the reward of knowing that you have done something positive.

Also, when most people have an unused vehicle that they need to get rid of, the first thing that comes to mind is selling it. However, donating your car to a worthy cause will not only benefit a worthy cause, but also will give you a tax write-off. Often, when you sell a vehicle, you do not get the book value back, but with auto donations, you will receive a tax receipt for the full value of the car to claim on your income tax return.

One of the best things about making the decision to donate my car was the fact that I was able to choose the organization that would benefit. This way, you know exactly where your vehicle is going and you can be certain that an organization that you fully support will benefit.

Where Do Auto Donations Go?

What happens to an auto donation depends solely on the organization that receives the donated car. Some will repair the vehicles and use them to transport patients or to help needy families. Others will sell the vehicles and use the proceeds to purchase needed supplies or to pay expenses related to their charitable organization. Wherever the need is greatest within an organization, that is where the vehicle or the proceeds from the sale will go. Donating your car is easy and a very charitable thing to do.
