It can be a great idea to donate a car to a charity, but make sure that the charity of choice is able to accept cars as a donation. The next thing you want to do is make sure that they are an IRS verified charitable organization, which means that any donations made to the organization is tax deductible. There are organizations that accept donations that are not tax deductible. It is very important that you sign over the title to the charity when you donate a car, because you want to ensure that they take responsibility for the vehicle when they take it.

Many charities can pick up your donation without any issue and can work around your schedule to ensure an easy pick up. When you donate a car, the vehicle does not need to be in working condition, but understand that if your intention is to give a sizable donation, the extra work to the car will need to be deducted from what they receive.
