For charities used car donations and donations of other vehicles such as boats and RV’s are a way of getting significant contributions from donors who might not ordinarily be able to give cash at that level. Charity Navigator, the largest charity evaluator in the U.S., reports on its website, “In the year 2000, nearly ¾'s of a million people took a car donation deduction on their federal tax returns, thusly lowering their taxes by over $650 million.”

How Does Car Donation Work?

When a person decides to donate a car, the actual donation of a vehicle is a fairly straightforward process especially if the intended charity is local. Typically, the charity will provide free towing and upon receipt of the car’s title and keys, written receipt proving tax deductibility. The IRS gives charities thirty days to provide a donor with proper documentation whether the car is sold or is being used by the charity for other acceptable purposes.

Vehicle donation centers such as donateacar.com and carshelpingamerica.org facilitate the entire process of vehicle donation by guiding a potential donor through all the technical and legal requirements. In addition, these vehicle donation centers usually represent a large number of well-known, reputable charities. A donor can simply request that his or her car be donated to any of the charities they represent.
