It is no secret that donating a car feels good. However, consumers want to know that when they donate a car, it goes to the right place. They want to know for a fact that the money generated from their car goes to help a cause that they believe in. 2 questions are commonly asked when it comes to donating a car, truck, motorcycle or any other vehicle, “How do I donate a car to a charity that I decide?” and “How do I pick the best charity?”. Here are the answers:
Question: How do I donate a car to a charity that I decide?
Answer: Here at Cars Helping Charities, we make this process fairly simple. To the right on any page within this website, you will see a simple car donation form. Simply fill out the form on the website and when you get to the personal information, you have the option to donate a car to a charity from a list on our website or, if you have a specific charity in mind that we do not list, you may input the charity that you have chosen. Once the car is donated, it will be processed and sold. After the costs of processing (towing, auction fees, ect.) are deducted, the proceeds will be donated to the charity that you have chosen!
Question: How do I pick the best charity to donate a car to?
Answer: This process is a bit more entailed. When donating a car, you have to think as though you are donating $200 or more to a charity. With that said, you want to be sure that you are going to donate your car to something that you truly believe in. Here are the steps to ensure that you maximize the efforts funded by your car donation:
Step 1: Pick Your Cause: The first step that you should take is to choose a cause. Here on Cars Helping Charities, we offer 8 different causes, Protect The Environment, Rescue Animals, Defeat Hunger And Homelessness, Save Children, Support Veterans, Find The Cure, Empower The Disabled and, Provide Humanitarian Aid. This is a great place to start if you are not sure what cause you would like to help with your car donation.
Step 2: Pick Your Charity: The next step is to choose your charity. This process has also been made fairly simple here at Cars Helping Charities. Once you choose your cause on the homepage, you will be brought to a page designed to give you more information about charities grouped within that cause. At the top, you will find the charity that Cars Helping Charities feels most deserves your car donation highlighted with a brief description. Below, you can choose the option to look at other charities as well. If a charity that you are interested in is not listed, you may add your charity in the simple donations form to the right.
I hope that this has helped to answer some car donations questions that you may have! If you do have a car for donation, thank you in advance for providing the funding that many charities not only deserve but, need to provide the services they provide so well!
