Which charity is best to donate a car to?

Assuming you like what the charity’s mission is, you want an official 501(c)(3) charity with as much experience with car donations as possible.

Let’s take a look at Kars4Kids as an example, they are an officially registered 501(c)(3) with over 500,000 donations processed. They also do everything in house to cut down on extra spending costs so more money goes to the charity.

The charity sponsors many programs that benefit children, feel free to check out their programs.

Do scrap yards pay for old cars?

Yes, scrap yards do usually pay for junk old cars, but you have to make sure you are dealing with legit scrap yards, getting the vehicle there and dealing with them. In addition, you need to know your numbers before you go, or they will take advantage of you. Unlike when you donate an old junk car to charity, where the charity wants to get the most out of it as well and will work hard for you to do that, getting you the maximum tax deduction in the process.

How much is the tax deduction you say?

If the car sells for more than $500 you can take the full tax-deductible receipt of the sale. If it sells for less than $500 you can take up to $500 as a donation deduction

Kars4Kids takes pretty much any type of car, in almost any condition. They also take other types of vehicles like vans, trucks, motorcycles.

Believe it or not Kars4Kids can also help you out with your boats and even real estate.

When you donate to Kars4Kids, the charity wants to get the most out of the donation also. Therefore, we work hard to acquire the best sale or salvage pricing, either for parts or the vehicle in total, depending on which is more.
