Supporting Children's Charities

group of childrenA children's or family charity is dedicated to supporting families in various ways throughout this country. The charities we fundraise for support families affected by hunger, abuse, illnesses, homelessness, and more. Some of the charities, like Childhood Leukemia Foundation or Children's Hospital Los Angeles, focus on the care and research of all children and families affected by illnesses. While other organizations like, STAND! Families Free of Violence dedicate their resources to aiding families affected by violence and providing safety. 

Each of these charities mission is to provide the safety and care of a loving home and family. 

Why Donate a Car Instead of Selling It?

The simple reason people chose to donate their car is because they no longer want it. Other reasons that people chose to donate their vehicle instead of trying to sell are:

-It’s a huge hassle to sell it yourself

-The trade-in offer you got from CarMax or a dealer is laughably low. 

- It would take A LOT of time and money to fix up the car yourself

-You need your vehicle off your property. 

-You want to support a cause that is important to you, get rid of your vehicle in the process, AND receive a tax deduction for your donation.

In most cases, we accept donations of all types of vehicles, whether they are running or not. We process all makes and models of: cars, trucks, motorcycles, vans, RVs, boats, golf carts, and more!donate to childrens hosptial

The Car Donation Experts 

Cars2Charities is a family and female owned Los Angeles based commercial fundraiser and is registered with the appropriate business and governmental entities. 

Cars2Charities is designed to provide donors with a simple, fast, and secure way to donate their vehicles to nonprofit organizations. Because most charities are not able to process their own vehicle donations, we take care of the scheduling, pick up, sale, and paperwork for each donation on their behalf. 

We help donors by making car donations safe, easy, and ideal by offering them the chance to maximize their tax deductions. 

We also help charities by facilitating a lucrative source of supplementary and additional income to support their worthy causes. We want to help as many individuals, families, animals, causes, and communities as we possibly can by using our 45 collective years of knowledge about car donations and the used car industry. 

In addition to effectively handling car donations within the USA, it is our mission to spread love, kindness, and generosity to others.

How to Donate a Car to Children's Charities

With more than 30 years of experience, Cars2Charities has the expertise in making vehicle donations easier than ever. Cars2Charities is designed to provide donors with a simple, fast, and secure way to donate their vehicles to family charities. 

family suvStep 1: Preparing for the Process

You’ll start the process of donating your car to children's charities by collecting the vehicle's cleared Certificate of Title and Registration.

If you have misplaced your title or registration, don’t worry! We can help. Please find your vehicle's identification number (VIN) and together we can determine which supplementary paperwork you will need to complete at the time of pick up. 

Step 2: Scheduling Your Pickup 

Give us a call at (855) 520-2100, or complete an online donation request. Our friendly donation coordinators will gather your vehicles information, and together, we will decide the most convenient time, date, and location for the pickup. Then we will send you an email that gives you step by step instructions to prepare you for the pick-up.

Before arriving, our tow truck driver will call you one hour before to give you time to collect paperwork and prepare the vehicle for towing. At the time of the pick-up, make sure your title is signed and clear of any lien holdings. You will hand over the title and registration to the tow truck driver. 

Step 3: Maximizing the Donation

We take the reins at this point to maximize the donation for both our donors and charities. We do this by assessing the vehicle and adding value to increase the selling price of the car.

It’s a situation many people dream about – a successful way to support a cause you care about without the work involved. 

Benefits of Donating Through Cars2Charitiespainted hands

By donating, you can share your passion for helping families and draw attention to what you consider important. In return not only do you receive a tax deduction, but the feeling of know that you are helping this cause.

Tax Deduction

Car donations to family charities are considered by the Internal Revenue Service and the State to be COMPLETELY TAX DEDUCTIBLE. 

This means that the price your car is sold for will be tax deductible. Both you and the charity will receive IRS Form 1098-C within 30-50 days of the sale of your vehicle, making the transaction transparent to all parties. Plus, we do all the work. There’s no standing in lines at the DMV or dealing with the paperwork to transfer the title.
