Here we go again. Another winter storm is bearing down on us. It is the latest in a string of storms that have plagued us. Each storm brings a new round of snow, sleet, ice, wind, etc. It is enough to make you want to move to a warmer place in the country. But wait; there is no warmer place in the country to move to. Every state has seen its share of bad weather; from tornados to floods to snow to ice to extreme cold. It can be very depressing.
If you have are tired of having to dig the snow the out from around your extra car, here is one suggestion. Get it out of your way, get a generous tax deduction, and help to support a very good cause by donating it to charity. You can even donate car that will not run in cold weather or does not perform well on the snow and ice. When you donate car to charity, you get a tax deduction of $500 or the amount the charity sells your car donation for, whichever is more.
Many charities will not allow you to donate car that no longer runs, is badly rusted or is very old. Basically they want donated cars that have a decent resale value. Cars4Charities is different. They do not care how old your car is, what condition it is in or even if it is smashed to smithereens. Cars4Charities only asks that you have the title to the car that is free of any liens, have not stripped all the valuable parts off of it and have it parked in a place where a tow truck can easily get to it.
You may not be aware that many charities sell all car donations to only one or two companies. The problem with this practice is that it does not get the most amount for each car. Cars4Charities attempts to maximize the return on every donate car. You may ask why they do that. There are two reasons. First, the more they sell your car donation for, the more you can claim as your tax deduction. Second, the more the donated car is sold for, the more of the proceeds go to the charity you choose from their very impressive list. They accomplish this by selling car donations to multiple retailers.
The other thing that separates Cars4Charities from the others is that they are one of the very few charities that allow you to donate your car on line at your leisure through their website, http://www.cars4charities.org/. The others ask you to call them or to complete an on line form and then wait for someone to call you with further instructions. And Cars4Charities is recognized by the IRS as a charity themselves, so you can be confident they will handle your car donation properly.
