Used Car Donation - Where Do You Begin?

By Daniel Gulberry

So you're contemplating getting rid of your car, and are unsure about what to do? Fortunately the choices involved with car donation Maryland are numerous. You will have no problem. Before you go donating though, here are some things you might want to think about first.

Is your car in good condition? Lets be honest, the last thing you need to happen is to donate a car then have it collapse when someone goes to use it. Does the car need maintenance? That is another question to ask because you don't want to donate a vehicle to charity if they have to sink money into it.

The next question to ask is the second most important. Who needs it the most? This is a hard question but not the toughest. You want your donation to go to where it will do the most benefit. There are many people that could use a working car, or truck that may be sitting around just collecting dust.

Then, and this last question is the most important question you will need to answer, "Which organization should I make the donation to?". There are a multitude of worthy charities that will appreciate your vehicle donation. Some of these organizations will operate on a local level, helping those in need within your community. Other organizations operate on an international level, and help people in need all around the world. You choose where you think it will do the most good.

The options listed above are good for groups and organizations, but what if you want to give it to people in need? Well students always need vehicles. Maybe a family member might need your old vehicle. If you know someone who's destitute, but trying to find work a reliable car can be a godsend for them.

Not all agencies expect you to give freely. Some of them have programs in place that will give you cash for your donation of a working vehicle. Some government related places will also give you a tax credit, which is good around tax time. However keep in mind giving just to get the credit may make you look like a bad person. The opposite is true also for giving without asking anything in return, it's your choice.

Now you're down to a final few worthy charities. You may have missed on some other groups who may have equal need of a car, such as medical organizations, especially those involved in finding a cure for rare diseases. Some of these lesser known organizations struggle for funds, so could use all the help they can get.

One of the last choices you may think about is also donating it to your city. This is an option that will help out your town. It allows them to use a car without having to purchase one. If your a person that loves his town this can be the most satisfying of options available for a potential donation.

Have you answered your questions, and thought about the choices? Made your lists and checked them? Have you made sure your car is in roadworthy condition, and not rusting away? Good, it can be a very confusing process, but I hope this has helped. - 21392
