    For more info check out our title page.

    You need to evaluate condition, base value and current scrap metal prices, and car part prices along with finding legitimate potential buyers. Or, you can just let us here at Kars4Kids handle it for you in exchange for a nice vehicle donation tax deduction.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Aside from being an IRS-recognized 510(c)3 charity, Kars4Kids has earned the Gold Seal of Transparency from Guidestar and has been rated a top nonprofit by GreatNonprofits

    Thousands of kids and families have benefited from the support of Kars4Kids and can all attest to the important work Kars4Kids does in their communities.

    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.

    This way you get a bigger tax deduction for your vehicle donation and the kids get more out of it too (win-win).
