How Charities Use Car Donations to Fund their Mission

How Charities Use Car Donations to Fund their Mission

Believe it or not, car donations are quickly becoming one of the quickest and easiest ways for charities to raise funds for their mission. In many cases, these car donations Milwaukee supply the means of transportation and save the charity thousands of dollars because they don't have to buy a vehicle.  This is especially helpful to charities that provide transportation services. However, the charity doesn't have to have transportation services.  Whether the vehicle is in working condition or not, it can still be used to incur funds for the charity.  If they can, they will auction the vehicle but even the money from scrap metal can go far when it comes to purchasing supplies for the charity.

Could it get any better than giving your old wheels new life by donating to charity?  Why, yes it can.  If you donate with an IRS recognized charity, you can use the receipt you get after completing your donation to file a tax deduction on your annual federal taxes.  Simple save the receipt for your records and make sure it's included in the files you hand over to your tax preparer.

Where to Complete Car Donations

Looking for a credible place to donate your old car?  Consider Rawhide.  This faith-based charity has been working with Wisconsin's children for over 40 years.  Together with their caring staff and volunteers, they provide correctional programs to at-risk youths and their children.  Over the years, they've helped to redirect the lives of thousands of children and prepared them to create a beautiful life.  When you donate your old car to Rawhide, your helping them continue a legacy of work that always has the same focus: Wisconsin's children.

To start the donation process with Rawhide, simply visit their website and fill out a contact form or give them a call directly.  You'll be asked a few questions about the car you're trying to donate as well as the location they'll need to pick the vehicle up from.  After that, all you have to do is wait for your pickup day and receive your receipt.
