In these times, charities need all the help that they can get. However, some can’t accept all types of help. While cash is always needed by all charities, some can work with other non-cash donations that can be converted into cash. Some donations include land, stock. And some charities are the type where you can donate old cars and see them help out a great cause.
Non-cash donations
Charities have long realizes that many people want to help but simply do not have cash on hand to help with. They may be in financial difficulties of their own, stretched thin by bills and the everyday cost of living. That is why they developed programs where people can, for instance, donate old cars. These plans involve the charity acting as a middle man.
When a car donation is made, the charity picks up the car and all required documentation, does a little bit of cleaning up, and then turns around and sells the car to somebody else who then sells the car to the public. That way the charity gets the cash without the original donor having to get the money right away. And a car, even one in disrepair, brings is more cash per transaction than do normal everyday fundraising efforts.
Finding the players
Unfortunately, not all charities are set up to accept donations of old cars. Some simply do not have the space to store the car, albeit temporarily, before the final transaction is made. A little bit of searching has to be done beforehand. Starting with major charities like the Salvation Army and the Arc is a good step. Even if they are not or at least not currently accepting old car donations they can usually find a local charity that does. And there is always the web. Charities, like the rest of business America, have found out that putting up a web site is sometimes a lot more cost efficient than running tons of ads or renting out a building. One last place to look is the IRS and BBB. Both maintain listings and records of charities, and they can even sometimes point you to a specific charity that would be more than happy to accept your donation of an old car or other non-cash donations. With those resources you can quickly filter out those charities who will be more than happy to put your old car to a new use.
