There are many organizations that are in need of a car donation. A car can be used in so many different ways by non-profit organizations, which are always in need of money to run their affairs. A car donation can be sold as a whole or sold off for its parts. They can then use the proceeds of the sale to fund job training for those who need it, as well as employ disabled people and help them become efficient members of the workforce.
For some people, a car donation would be the best thing that can happen to them. In many places, public transportation is impossible to get to, or is very unreliable. For them to live a normal life, keep a job, and transport their children, they need a car. This would be very difficult if they cannot afford to buy a car.
How they get donations
Even though these organizations are in need of a donation of a car, they do not overtly ask people to donate their cars. The tactic they use to entice people to make donations is to use their charity status and offer tax credit for the donation. However, with the new tax laws that are in place, people are now being discouraged from donating their cars.
The new law states that the only way for you to receive the tax credit for the entire true market value of your car is if it used for a charitable reason, such as giving rides to disabled people. If the car is sold for either parts or as a whole, you will only be eligible to claim the amount it was sold for minus the cost of repairs.
