Veterans, teens, adults – any swath of a community can benefit from the recovery programs and volunteer support offered by NAMI. Family and friends of an individual with a mental health condition can receive attention and understanding through group meetings and advocacy.
A vehicle donation to NAMI California through Cars2Charities is a way to provide physical resources and restore dignity to people who struggle with mental imbalance.
The anxiety you experience when you get behind the wheel of an unreliable car may be motivating you to visit your nearest car dealer. The health and well-being of you and your children are at stake, so you want to drive something safe and sound.
It provides you with an opportunity – a charity car donation to NAMI California is both generous and it also comes back to benefit you through a tax break.
If you’re at that point – where you know you need to replace your vehicle – you want to avoid doing a dealer trade-in. You lose 60-70% of the value of your car when you give it to the dealership. In fact, researchers at USC found that they also tend to raise the price of the car you’re buying!
But if you donate a vehicle to NAMI California through us at Cars2Charities, you can write off 100% of the selling price. There’s another advantage — our process typically brings in a higher sale price. After we pick up your donation car, we make necessary improvements to your car before selling it, which usually brings in 25-50% more money – for NAMI and your taxes.
You need a place to send your old car, and the nonprofit requires resources to keep working.
The National Alliance on Mental Illlness is trained to offer help for those who need it, which makes the combination a good partnership.
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!
It’s easy and simple. Start by completing an online donation form (the blue box on the right side of the page). Once you submit the form, one of our donation coordinators will contact you to gather additional information about the vehicle.
Together, we will then decide the most coinvent time, date, and location for the pick up. After that, we handle the entire process on your behalf, free of charge.
With Cars2Charities, donating your unwanted vehicle has never been easier. Our expert Vehicle Donation Coordinators are always available to efficiently walk you through the donation process in just 3-5 minutes.
