Are you one of the thousands of consumers trying to decide where to donate your car? Because the process of donating a car is a very intimate one, you may find that choosing where to donate a car is a bit harder than you thought. As a donor, you want to know that your car donation and the proceeds that it generates goes to the right place and does something that you believe in. Throughout the years that we have been accepting car donations, we have been learning more and more about the process. Because of this experience, we have created a simple 3 step process to help consumers decide where to donate their cars! This process was designed to help you to ensure that your car will go to help a cause you believe in, the way you believe it needs help!
Deciding Where To A Car – The Three Step Process
Step 1: Choosing A Cause: The first step that you should take when you decide to donate your car is to choose your cause. To make this simple, we have listed the 8 most popular causes that charities provide services to help. We have listed all of the charities sponsored in one of the following categories:
- Protect The Environment: From the consumers who feel adamant about protecting the rainforests to consumers who are crushed as they slowly watch the polar ice cap melt, protecting the environment just may be a cause for you. The charities listed under the protect the environment all have tried and true methods of helping what you care about the most. Providing services from scientific studies to avoid future disaster to providing immediate assistance to those who have been victims of environmental disasters. Your car donation can provide the funds to make all of this possible!
- Rescue Animals: Does it bring a tear to your eye every time you turn on the television and see one of those animal cops shows? Are you one of the consumers who hates seeing a homeless cat, not because of property values but because you genuinely car about what that living being is suffering from? If this is the case, you may be interested in donating a car to rescue animals!
- Defeat Hunger And Homelessness: It is a harsh reality that we face day to day. Every highly populated city in the United States also has a high population of homeless people. Although, often looked down upon, the choice to become homeless for many of these people was made by unforeseen circumstances and not necessarily poor decisions. If it breaks your heart to see a homeless community so close to home, you may want to donate your car to defeat hunger and homelessness. These charities use the proceeds from donated cars to provide food and shelter to those who need it the most!
- Save Children: Unfortunately, there are many stresses that children may go through. From life threatening ailments to abusive families, often times, our children are put into positions that young ones should never go through. The charities under the save children cause all provide services directly to those who simply don’t have the means or strength to provide for themselves, our children. If you would like your car donation to provide the funding that saves the life of a child, you may want to choose the save children cause!
- Support Veterans: Before I get into this cause, to all veterans who may happen across my post, I would like to say thank you! It takes a special breed of person to put your life on the line to protect people like me…people you don’t know by name….you have never seen their face…yet…you still love all of us enough to put your life on the line for us and for that I am personally eternally grateful! With that said, it is no secret that those who protect us often find themselves injured in the line of duty physically and or mentally. If you feel that it is our duty to take care of and protect those who have put their lives on the line to protect us, you should donate your car under the support veterans cause!
- Find The Cure: Although everyone finds themselves ill every once in a while, some find themselves with illnesses that they may have to deal with for the rest of their lives like epilepsy, diabetes, ect… or worse, those that may take their lives like cancer, aids, ect… If you would like the proceeds from your car donation to provide the costs associated with research to find the cures for otherwise incurable ailments, you may want to donate your car to find a cure!
- Empower The Disabled: It should come as no surprise that anything from a car accident to a slip and fall can cause a detrimental change to the quality of life for anyone. Those who have found themselves able to work all of their lives and now cannot because of a life changing disability often need treatments that they cannot afford or life skills training to allow them to continue to be a valuable part of their communities. If you would like the money from your car donation to help to empower the disabled, this should be your cause!
- Provide Humanitarian Aid: If you watch T.V. for any amount of time in the U.S. chances are, you have seen one of those heart wrenching commercials about children who don’t have the water they need to survive. You have seen earthquakes that shocked entire communities. You have seen tsunamis that drowned lands! If you have been touched by these experiences and feel that your car donation should help those who have been dehumanized in one way or another, you may want to donate your car to provide humanitarian aid.
Step 2: Choose Your Charity: Once you have decided which cause you would like for your car donation to help, it’s time to choose which charity will receive the donation. Simply click the icon for the cause that you believe in from the home page of CarsHelpingCharities.org. Once you click this, you will be taken to a spotlight charity page. This spotlight page will teach you about what we believe to be the top charity to help the cause you believe in. This page will include the name and a description of the charity that we have decided to give the spotlight. If you would like to see a list of other charities within that cause, simply click the link below the description to be taken to a list of charities that help that cause.
Once you choose your charity, simply donate your car using the simple donations form on the right side of each page of this website! On behalf of CarsHelpingCharities.org and all of those who will benefit from your car donation, I would like to say thank you in advance for making the decision to donate a car!
