25 Top Car Donation Charities

There are several charities who except cars for donations. In return, if your car qualifies, you will receive a tax deduction. In order to donate a vehcile to charity, it needs to have a clear title, four inflated tires, have a clean title, and be positioned for a tow truck to collect. You may also be required to meet post-donation requirements in order to receive the deduction. You may be asked to obtain written acknowledgment of the vehicle's subsequent sale, and to itemize instead of claiming a standard deduction. Some charities except cars, trucks, RV's, boats, and motorcycles. Some charities even have their own car lots, and others sell the vehicles at auctions at distribute the finds to a charity.

Car donations are popular in Canada in the United States. California. New York, Indiana, Arizona, and Texas are just a few of the states who accept car donations.

Before donating your vehicle, it is recommended to investigate how the charity uses your donated car, how much the charity will actually receive from the donation, and you will want to make sure it is a legitimate charity. If it is a local charity, make sure they offer the deduction. If using a national charity, there will be less investigating. Below is a list of national charities that accept cars for donations.
