Sweet Charity is a lip-smacking delight
Around 550 supporters of the Chester County Community Foundation showed up rather eagerly at Waterloo Gardens hung in Japanese lanterns last week for their annual fund-raiser, Sweet Charity, one of the most delightful parties around. There were so many people there that most people felt as though they don’t know anyone — so everyone talks to everyone else, which makes it very friendly. There is …

Help A Charity By Donating An Automobile
Jun 20, 2010 General
Volunteering and donating are the most common things that people do to show support for their favorite charities. Donations can be in the form of money and/or goods. People usually donate food and used items such as clothing, shoes, furniture, tools and equipment. But what some people might not know is donating a car, old or unused, to charity is also possible and that they can get a tax break in return.
Charitable organizations do not discriminate. They will accept not just cars, but other types of vehicles as well, like trucks and vans. Old, unused or even damaged cars can be donated and put to good use. Some vehicles may be unsuitable for driving, but their parts can be sold and the proceeds used for other projects.
Donated vehicles can be fixed and given to those who are in need of their own transportation but cannot afford to buy even a used car. Having their own transportation is important for them because it enables them to access jobs, shops and schools. Commuting may not be an option for some, because their homes are too far from public transportation routes for this to be feasible. With a car donation, mobility is no longer an issue for them.
In some cases, the donated vehicles are beyond repair so that all that can be done is to sell them for parts and scrap metal. The charity can use the money from the sale in many ways. They can use it to fund other projects, offset operation costs or subsidize administration costs.
It is true that a car donation charity is just one option for people to dispose their old, unused or damaged vehicles. Two other options include selling the car themselves or trading them in a dealership. Either way, car owners have to give a significant amount of time and effort to make it work.
For instance, even if they can fix a car for resale, they would still need to put up ads, answer inquiries and try to strike an agreement with prospect after prospect. Trading a car in a dealership involves fewer hassles, but they may never be sure that they are getting a fair price. Donating them to charity on the other hand is a simple transaction, making owners eligible for a corresponding tax break.
Charities can help donors understand how the tax break process works, but a simple rule of thumb is, the tax deduction is based on the fair market value of the donated vehicle or the amount for which the charity is able to sell the vehicle. For example, a donated car is evaluated at $1000, but if the charity is only able to sell it for $800, only $800 is tax-deductible.
Owners of old or unused vehicles know how they can be an eyesore and take up space in the garage that can otherwise be used for more productive purposes. Nowadays, the top options for disposing them are selling them, trading them or donating them. All things considered, a car donation charity may not be for everyone, but donors are assured of getting a fair value for their vehicle plus tax deductions and knowing that they are making a difference in other people’s lives.
If you have an automobile that probably won’t sell for much, consider looking into donating an automobile to one of the available charity organizations in your city or town. Finding a car donation charity is worthwhile and will also work as a deduction on your taxes.
