Here’s a Win-Win Solution for You

If you’re looking for a way to give back to your community and you happen to have a car that you no longer need and want to dispose of, then a car donation to a charity of your choice is the win-win solution you’ve been looking for!
Charities and nonprofit groups are open to accepting not just monetary contributions but other forms of donation as well — including a vehicle donation.
For people with unwanted motor vehicles just rusting away in their garages or old boats that they’ve grown tired of maintaining, this is a chance to help the poor, the sick, and the underprivileged while also helping themselves.
Your vehicle donation can provide much-needed assistance to a charity whose mission is close to your heart. The charity will most likely auction off your donation, using the proceeds to finance its key programs and services.
Charity groups support different worthy causes. Some help out uninsured individuals afflicted with major diseases such as cancer while some others extend aid to seriously ill or disabled children. Some offer assistance to disadvantaged individuals seeking employment while some others provide aid to our nation’s struggling veterans.
Why Your Car Donation Will Make a Great Gift to a Charity
The holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year for charities. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the costliest periods for them as well. Extra costs have to be factored in for heating, Christmas programs, gifts, and other holiday-related expenses for the less fortunate.
That is why a car donation will make a great gift during this season of giving. Your vehicle donation will allow charity organizers to breathe a little easier, knowing that they’ll be able to have what they need to continue their life-enhancing missions.
More Reasons for Making a Car Donation
There are many other reasons why donating an unneeded vehicle to a charity during the holidays makes a lot of sense. We’ve listed some of them here:
- Receive the maximum tax deduction.
If you donate to an IRS-certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, you will be entitled to claim the maximum tax deduction when you file your itemized federal income tax return in the next tax season. If your vehicle is sold for more than $500, you can take a tax deduction that’s equivalent to its exact selling price. In case your car sells for less than $500, you can claim as your tax deduction either the final sale price of your vehicle or its fair market value not exceeding $500, whichever is higher.
- Get your unwanted car towed at no cost to you.
You don’t have to worry about how you’re going to bring your nonfunctioning vehicle to the charity you’re donating to. Most charities offer free towing service.
- Save yourself from the hassles associated with selling a used car yourself.
It’s tough to sell a beater that needs a lot of work. You may need to spend a small fortune on repairs and bodywork before you can try to sell it yourself. If you decide to donate it to a charity, you won’t need to spruce it up because the charity will take your vehicle as it is.
- Save more money.
Aside from the cash savings that you’ll get from your tax deduction, donating your vehicle to a charity means you no longer need to pay for the costly repairs and maintenance of your old vehicle as well as its registration and insurance fees.
