- The ABC's of Car Donation - C is for Consider By:-Karen Campese
Consider all of the aspects of car donation, both the positive and the negative. There are many practical reasons to donate your car to charity.

When you donate car, you are eligible for a tax deduction of $500 or more. And, of course, you help a charity when you donate car.
