At CarsHelpingCharities.org, we are often asked the question, “I’ve finally decided where to donate my car, but the charity I have chosen is not listed here. What are the next steps to making a car donation to the charity that I choose?”. We know that because donating a car is such a very intimate process for most people, generally, those who decide to make this type of donation have already chosen the charity that they would like to donate to. With that said, if you have a car, or any other type of vehicle that you would like donate to a charity that you have already chosen, we have made the process very simple for you!
The first thing that you will want to do to make your car donation to the charity of your choice is to fill out the getting started form that is located on each page of this website. In the first of the 2 form phases, you will be asked for standard vehicle information including the year, make, model and color of the vehicle that you would like to donate. This information is simply needed so that we can let the tow truck driver know exactly what they will be picking up once your vehicle donation has been completed.
The second phase of the form includes a bit of contact and location information as well as a bit more information about the automobile that is being donated. This information includes first and last name, email, phone number, address and mileage of the vehicle. This information allows us to contact you regarding scheduling an appointment for the pickup of your car donation. Also, the mileage of the vehicle helps us to understand the condition that the donated car will be in once it makes it to the donations facility.
Once you have filled out the simple donations form, you will receive a phone call within a few minutes in most cases. This phone call will be for a few reasons. The first reason for this automobile donation phone call is so that we can inform you on how to sign your title and where to place it so that we can find it when we pick the car up. Also, we will ask a for the V.I.N. number of the donation so that we can verify the ownership of the automobile that is being donated.
When you get off of the phone with one of our car donations professionals, simply place the signed title for the car in the designated spot that you discussed with the car donation specialist. From that point, all you need to do is sit back and relax. From here, we will be there to tow your car within 48 hours and your donation receipt will be on it’s way to you once the car that you donated has been processed. Remember, we do everything we can to gain value in your car donation so, donating your vehicle with CarsHelpingCharities.org ensures you that you will get the highest tax deduction possible and the charity that you have chosen will receive the highest donation possible!
