It comes as no surprise to many that car donations are one of the many ways that charities raise the funds needed to provide the community services that they provide so well. However, donating a car is a very intimate process for most people. These cars in most cases were personal projects or even family cars. With that said, if you are like most people, before you are willing to donate you car, you want a few questions answered. Here is a list of the questions that we are most commonly asked and the best answers that we can give:
Question: Where can I donate my car?
Answer: It is a common misconception that if consumers decide to donate a car, they have to bring it somewhere. The reality is, if you choose the right car donations company, you don’t have to go anywhere. Here at Cars Helping Charities, we pride ourselves in our nationwide towing contracts. These contracts give us the ability to town any car from any address within the United States. Therefore, when you decide to donate a car with us, you don’t have to bring it anywhere, we will come pick it up from your home, office or even the side of the road!
Question: Is a car the only type of vehicle that I can donate?
Answer: This is a great question. While doing your research, you will find a great deal of information about car donations. But what about trucks, vans, R.V.s, motorcycles and all the other types of vehicles out there? Is is O.K. to donate these as well? Absolutely! As a matter of fact, because of the cutting edge processing techniques that we use, we can accept your vehicle donation no matter if you have a car to donate or an A.T.V.!
Question: My car is in horrible shape. Can I still donate it?
Answer: Absolutely! When it comes down to it, you can donate your car no matter what is wrong with it. To be honest, junk car donations are a large majority of the cars that are donated each year. We don’t mind if the car is sitting on bricks with the muffler falling off, we will accept and process any car donation!
Question: What are the benefits of donating my car?
Answer: There are 2 benefits to donating a car. First, when you donate a car, you get the instant gratification of knowing that your car donation will go to help people in need. The charities that receive these funds do everything from finding cures to helping women, children and veterans. Knowing that your car donation gave a child a fighting chance or fed and sheltered a homeless family provides a feeling that can’t be explained. The second benefit to donating your car is the tax deduction that you will receive. If your car donation generates proceeds below $500, you will receive a $500 tax deduction. If your car donation generates proceeds in excess of $500, you will receive a tax deduction receipt equal to the amount of money that your car generated for charity!
