Auto Charity In-House, Fund-raiser




Auto charity is a big  generating finance organization among the other form of charities. There are two type of charity auto donations program: in-house auto charity and third party fund-raisers:

Auto charity is an organization which collects all revenue of donated cars for humanity purposes such as: helping needy people for their kid's educational, medical, transportation (charity for child) and government qualifies them.

If  auto charity has  budget  to  advertise, possibilities to pick up and tow donation automobile  free for charge,  storage for collecting all charity cars, facilities for charity auto auction or salvaging cars for parts then it's auto charity in-house. In-house auto charity operates all automobile donation processing by itself so they can keep 100% revenue of  charity donation gifts after deducting charity activities expenses which means 70%-80% net proceeds goes for real humanity purposes.


There are some other organizations which have facilities for handling  vehicle donation processing but they are not 100% non-profit. They are fund-raisers who help  non-house auto charities  for profit. A  third party  organizations with no charity goodwill which do car donation charity processing such as: pick up, tow, salvaging car for parts, auctioning, selling to dealerships wholesale. They keep big portion of proceeds after deducting expenses and give remainder of proceeds to specified auto charity (Probably 10%-30%). Unbelievable.


Charity Blind

Donor decides to give car to charity, picks up the phone, calls a number and asks for free charge towing and irs charity deduction receipt. Is donor donating car to charity or fund-raiser?. He/She doesn't know. Even donor  doesn't know auto charity can provide irs charity deduction receipt. This a charity blind. Don't let advertisements for getting rid of your unwanted  car, tax deduction benefits solicit you. Don't make a blind charity. It's vital to do a little bit research before donate an auto to charity. There are some  people who lack charity attitude would not mind to donate a used car to any type of car charities  as long as they  get charity deduction from auto charity.

 
Car Donation has two kind of benefits. Intangible benefit is in the  goodwill of giving . Tangible benefits is in form of disposing car and taking advantage of tax benefits. It is a good idea to donate vehicle to  charity that has its own Infrastructure. It will maximize tangible and intangible benefits value for  donor and  donee ( auto charity ).
