How to Donate Your Car to Charity
If you have an old car that is taking up space in the garage, you should consider donating it for charity. Charities will collect and sell used cars, then use the money for a good cause, while you get a tax-deductible receipt for the value of the car. If that sounds like an interesting option, here’s how you can go about donating a car.Step #1 - Find a local charityThere are hundreds of charities around the United States that accept car donations, but most of them only operate in a few regions. You can figure out which car donation charities operate in your region by doing some research, and by enlisting the help of charity registries like the one at https://www.cardonationcenters.org/michigan/.Step #2 - Get in touchYou can get in touch with the charity through their donation phone number or the form on their website. Their team will collect all the information they need for the donation paperwork, and help you figure out all the fine details of how the donation will go.Step #3 - Clear out personal belongingsAny personal items left in the car will be impossible to recover after the vehicle has been auctioned off, so be thorough when emptying out the car.Step #4 - Make pickup arrangementsThe final step is agreeing on a time and place for the charity team to pick up the car. Most charities have the means to collect cars directly from donors, and cars can be donated even if they are no longer running.
