You can support individuals with HIV through a car donation to Radiant Health Centers.
The roots of this amazing nonprofit go back to the beginning of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s, when loving individuals provided medical care to those who were sick and dying.
Radiant Health Centers provides support for the LGBTQ+ community by bringing care to people living with HIV, along with their loved ones, and are expanding their services to ensure everyone in Orange County has access to stigma-free, compassionate care.
If you’ve ever had a friend or loved one who got the news that he or she was HIV-positive, you know how challenging that is. They need love and support – not to mention medical help – more than ever.
Radiant Health Centers treats every patient with dignity, respect and compassion, regardless of their situation. You will never see them showing signs of discrimination.
A vehicle donation to Radiant Health Centers through Cars2Charities grants them more resources to achieve their goal – to provides the LGBTQ+ community medical services that are compassionate and comprehensive while continuing to serve those living with and affected by HIV.
If you’re at a point where your car is increasingly unreliable, or if you really need a more comfortable ride for your long commute, it puts you in a position to help with this mission.
The value of the car you don’t need is a perfect chance to support a cause without writing a check.
A car charity donation to Radiant Health Centers brings to reality the organization’s passion about health equity, and their belief that everyone in the community deserves high quality healthcare.
Your efforts can do more than bring LGBTQ+ individuals the healthcare equity they need – you can play a part in ending the HIV epidemic in Orange County.
If you’re still on the fence about whether or not it’s the right time to make a change of vehicle, knowing what it can mean for individuals who are sick may be the added incentive you need.
When you’re ready, it’s a very simple process. Just call us at 855-520-2100 or you can donate online. Our friendly associate will schedule a towing professional to pick up your car at a time and place that’s convenient for you.
At that point, your efforts are basically complete. We take care of the details – preparing your car for sale, finding a buyer and completing the paperwork – even the title transfer.
Were you considering a dealer trade-in? It’s an easy route, but a quick call to Cars2Charities is both simple and gives you the opportunity to share your resources with the LGBTQ+ community in Orange County through a car or truck donation to Radiant Health Centers.
And were you aware that you lose 30-40% of your vehicle’s value when you trade it in? When you do a car, truck or SUV donation to Radiant Health Centers through Cars2Charities, however, you get to write off 100% of the sale price of the car.
Students at USC’s Marshall School of Business found that car dealers charge you more for the new car you buy if you trade in your old one. They found that the dealers automatically conclude that individuals with a trade-in are less concerned about the cost, so they hold out for a higher price!
Yes, you do. Of course, when you support a cause you care about it’s not for your own benefit. In this case, it’s just an added bonus – you’re taking care of others while gaining a tax write-off.
The decision is yours, of course. But when you come to that fork in the road that all car owners do, when it’s time to buy something new, consider doing some good.
How many times have you dropped your paperwork at Coyle CPA and Company, only to find you need more tax deductions? There’s none of the last-minute dashing around with the system at Cars2Charities! Any time of year you can donate a vehicle to Radiant Health Centers with the knowledge that you’re benefiting your bottom line.
And the process has an advantage for you. When we pick up your donation car, we bring it to our technicians who inspect your car to determine if it needs improvements. Our research shows that donation vehicles typically increase the sale price by 25-50%. Of course, that means your donation is higher and so is your tax credit.
You’ll be happy to know, as well, that we follow all the guidelines dictated by the IRS when you donate a car to charity. After selling the vehicle we report the sale price – both to you and to Radiant Health – so the transaction is transparent. You both receive IRS Form 1098 within 30 days of the sale.
You want to be financially wise – that’s always a good idea. And when you release the value of your vehicle to provide comprehensive medical and social services for people with HIV you give yourself a good feeling as well as a bump for your taxes.

If you live at Laguna Woods or another over-55 community, you may own a golf cart. When you feel it’s time to upgrade to something nicer, like a Bel-Air, or downsize to a Villager, making a golf cart donation to Radiant Health Centers can turn the value of your old cart into medical and emotional care for individuals in the LGBTQ+ community.
Is your boat sitting in a slip at Balboa Marina or at Red Carpet Boat Storage? Imagine the financial benefit to letting go of those fees while also getting a tax break by making a boat donation to Radiant Health Centers.
If you’re like most people, you’ve had health issues or someone close to you has struggled for survival, so you know how important it is to share your resources when you can. When you donate a car to Radiant Health Centers through Cars2Charities, they can continue their work – healing and supporting those battling HIV. Let us know when you’re ready.
