The great thing about donating trucks or cars to charity is that you can make the donations anytime from just about anywhere. There are Goodwill® organizations all across the nation, so no matter where you live, you can give to a good cause.
Goodwill Industries® is known for its awareness programs and services that bring assistance and education to those in need in small towns across America. These programs get most of their money by selling donated trucks, cars, planes, boats, motorcycles, etc. Even if you have an old clunker that you have no use for, Goodwill® charities may still accept it.
Before you do give it away to a truck donation charity, however, make sure you understand the following:
• Do research on the charities you’re thinking about donating to. Check with the Better Business Bureau to find the best charities.
• Look over the annual reports carefully to find out how much money they received from the sales of donated trucks and cars. How did they handle that money?
• Consult with a financial advisor or lawyer if you’re still unsure about which organization to donate a truck to.
• Make sure you have the vehicle’s title ready to present to the charity when making your donation.
• After making your donation, keep in mind that the charity has an obligation to send you an acknowledgement within 30 days of selling your donated truck or car.
You can always consult with professionals if you need any assistance. Also, there is plenty of information online, including tools and resources, on how to donate a truck or car.
