Charity Car Donations
Many charities, both local and national, are happy to accept a vehicle donation. The charity might:- Auction the car and use the money. You may take this amount as the write-off amount.
- Scrap the car.
- Use the car to help run the charity.
Finding a Charity
If you have a favorite charity, look them up and ask if you can donate a car. For example, the American Red Cross, the American Diabetes Association, and the Kidney Foundation all accept cars.Other charities specifically take cars, like Kars for Kids, which raises money for Joy for Our Youth, a foundation that helps needy children. Donate car to any of these and help them raise money for their cause.
If you still don’t know which charity to choose for a car donation, you can do an Internet search for “car donation” and your favorite cause to see what you can find. Just keep these tips in mind:
- Make sure the charity is 501(c)(3), which gives it tax-exempt status. Look this up on the IRS website.
- Get a receipt for your donation. If you itemize your deductions, you can deduct this. You may take either the car’s value (up to $500) or the price the car sold at auction.
