How auto donations work
The amount your car is worth can be deducted from your income at tax time

 

 

The practice of auto donations involves donating no-longer-wanted cars, trucks, vans & RV’s to charity organizations. In the United States, these charitable donations provide a tax benefit to the donor; as such, this type of giving has become very popular.  Non-profit organizations in the US have come to rely increasingly upon the revenue from car donations. This type of donation has become increasingly widespread in the U.S.; in 2000, 733,000 taxpayers reduced their taxes by $654 million.

Many charities run programs auto donations. Some have their own car lots which sell the donated cars but many have their auto donations processed through auto auction companies. At least one charity exists (Charity Motors, based in Detroit with locations in Atlanta and Dallas) which collects and sells donated cars and distributes the money to whichever charity the donor indicates. This allows income from auto donations to flow to charities which do not run their own programs.  

Auto donations can be a way to relieve yourself of problems and also benefit your favorite charity in need.  Additionally, making auto donations to charity is a simple and effective way to get a tax deduction. Since January 2005, the IRS has taken over the job of determining the value of your car donation.
