Tips for Kidney Foundation Car Donation

How To Donate A Car To Charity - Kidney Foundation Car Donation

Today, more and more people are getting into donating a car to charity because of their desire to give something that they no longer use to other people who will benefit from them. As a matter of fact, there is a long list of the organizations which are accepting car donations from people across the country and from people in other parts of the world.

One of the most popular these days would be the National Kidney Foundation car donation events, known as Kidney Cars, that are held in different states. If you are planning to donate an old car to this kind of event, here is some useful information that could help you out:

  1. You can donate any car that you have to any National Kidney Foundation car donation event, provided that you are the owner of the car and you have the title or some other proof of ownership that you can show to the organizers of the event. This is to avoid any legal implications later on.
  2. Generally, National Kidney Foundation car donation events accept any type of old car, whether it is working or not. Other types of vehicles can also be donated including vans, trucks, motorcycles, boats and even trailers or mobile homes.
  3. The organizers of the charitable event would have the donated cars and vehicles fixed so that they can sell it through an auction sale to get funds that are used to help pay for educational programs, research and patient services provided by the foundation.
  4. Once you donate your old car, the organizers of the Kidney Car event would tow the car from your house, meaning all you need to decide if you would be donating a car or not and then contact the Kidney Foundation.
  5. After that, you would need to fill out the appropriate IRS form and then have a written document signed by the receiving charity firm. This is necessary so that you would be able to receive your tax deduction. You would also not be involved with the actual car sale as well as it would be handled by the organizers of the charitable event.
  6. Once your car is sold, the charity firm would be providing you with the details of the sale within about 30 days so you would be able to get your tax deduction claims.

Aside from looking into donating a car to the National Kidney Foundation, there are also plenty of other car donation programs which could benefit from your old car. This would include cancer foundations, children’s foundations and many more.

There are also some firms today which offer the services of facilitating the process of the car donation for the donor and the process of selling the car for the charitable organization. If possible, try to avoid such firms as what happens is that instead of the charitable organization receiving the entire proceeds from the sale of the donated car, the middleman firm would be receiving a percentage as well.

You may want to contact the foundation which you are planning to do donate your car to and ask them if it is possible for them to be the ones to directly get and sell the car.
