The First Step in Giving to a Car Donation Milwaukee Charity
The one and only complexity about making a car donation is choosing a worthy charity. There are so many causes, all of them good, that it is hard to choose one over the other. There are charities that work with young people, old people, and animals. There are also charities that focus on diseases, the environment, combating loneliness. The list is endless and there are no right or wrong answers. Only you can determine which charity you feel is deserving of your generosity. That said, there are three things in particular that you should look for:
- That the charity accepts car donations
- That the charity is efficient, meaning they actually spend the money from your donation on their cause
- That the charity is 501(c)3 registered, which means they have charitable status and that you can deduct your donation from your taxable income
