Kidney Foundation, and I'd like to give you some tips about how to donate your car in
California. The first and most important thing is to find your charity. Choose a charity
that is in your state.

If you find their phone number, either in the phone book or on the
Internet make sure that the charity is located near you and benefits local programs. Ask
that charity what their overhead is. You never want to donate to a charity whose overhead
is more than twenty five percent. Ask them if they accept car donations, and then get
the phone number and the web address of their car processing center directly from the charity.
Make sure that the proceeds from the sale of your vehicle come to the charity, at least
seventy five percent.

Again, you never want to donate to some of the organizations that
come out of the newspaper, or on the Internet that are giving five to ten percent of the
sale proceeds of your vehicle to those charities. So again, be in contact with the charity.
Make sure how, ask the charity themselves how they accept the car donations. Make sure
that the money is going to programs that you care to benefit, and then donate through their
phone number and their website. The other most important thing is about the title.

You're
going to have to find the title of the vehicle before you begin the donation process. Make
sure that the title is signed over directly to the charity that you want to benefit. Never
leave a title open. So, you sign to release your ownership of the car, date your signature,
and then write, as the new owner or the buyer, the name of the charitable organization that
you'd like to benefit.

As for donating to the Kidney Foundation, it's very simple. You
call 1-800-488-CARS, or donate online at kidneycars.Org. Again, you submit the information, they take
the information about who gets the tax receipt, information about the vehicle; year, make,
and model, what's wrong with the car. They instruct you how to sign the title, and then
once they have the information they'll come out and get the car, and then you can use

Used Car DonationHow to Donate a Car in Brooklyn

Hi, my name is Luz Luis, I work for the National
Kidney Foundation and I'd like to give you some tips about how to donate a car in Brooklyn.
The first, most important thing to consider when your donating a vehicle is which charity
you'd like to choose. Make sure that the charity is in your area, benefits your local area
and call that charity directly. Try not to get car donation programs out of the newspaper,
on the internet without calling the charity itself to make sure that those are legitimate
facilities to donate your vehicle to. The second thing is to ask the charity how much
of the money that they get from car donations go directly to their programs.

You should
never donate a car to an organization that accepts less than seventy-five percent of
the sales proceeds. Also, ask the charity what percent of their money goes directly
to their own programs and how much is overhead. So just be sure to donate to a charity that
is local, that is a charity that you'd like to benefit and that no less than twenty-five
percent of their overhead goes to pay for their administrative costs. The second most
important thing is to find the title to the vehicle, you'll need to sign the title over

So when you sign your title, make sure
to release your ownership of the car with your own signature and date your signature
and then make sure that the buyer section or the new owner section of the title has
the charity's name in there. If you don't have a title you can go to your local DMV
either on the DMV website, the New York website for the DMV or you can go to your local DMV
office. Then you call the phone number that the charity has given you if it's not the
charity itself to give the information about your vehicle, whose name goes on the receipt,
what kind of car it is, where that car is located. And then once they have your information,
whether you've submitted it over the phone, by mail or on the internet, they will come
out and get your car and issue you a tax receipt.

Generally, if you itemize on your taxes you
can use the deduction as a tax deduction. So make sure to contact the charity and stay
in direct contact with the charity during the car donation process and make sure that
your contact with them is good. As for donating your car to the Kidney Foundation, it's a
very simple process. You can go online to Kidneycars.Org, to donate online is the fastest

Used Car DonationCar Donation Tips

Hi, my name is Luz Ruiz. I work for the National
Kidney Foundation here of Utah and Idaho. I'm here to give you some tips about how to
donate your car to a charity. The first most important step is to choose the charity you'd
like to benefit from your car donation and call that charity directly.

Usually you can
find your charity on the Internet or in a phone book but make sure that the address
matches the phone book over the phone. Make sure that you verify the location of that
charity. Also ask what percent of the proceeds from the sale or the recycling of your vehicle
benefit that charity. You should not donate to a charity that accepts less than 75% of
the proceeds from the sale of your vehicle.

Also ask the charity how much of their own
money they use to benefit their charitable mission. Again you should not donate to any
charity that does not allocate at least 75% of their funding to their charitable mission.
Once you have determined that the charity is a legitimate charity in your area and that
the funding allocations are over 75% then get out your title to the car that you'd like
to donate. It's really really important that you have a title, that way you can convey
ownership directly to that charitable organization. Never leave the title blank.

Once you've decide
which charity to donate your vehicle to, sign the title to release your ownership of the
car and then make sure that the buyer section or that the next owner section is filled out
with the correct legal name of the organization that you'd like to benefit. Once you have
the title in your hand, make sure to call the charity that or sometimes charities will
use car processing centers, experts in the field of car donation so that the charity
themselves don't spend the time to process the vehicle donation. Make sure that the phone
number and the website where you've contacted to donate your vehicle are again; that those
references are given to by the charity itself. Once you've called that car processing center
make sure to have the title in your hand, answer their questions.

Usually they're questions
like who, who's name will go on the tax receipt. Where is the location of the car, if it's
different from the mailing address they'll want the title number and the VIN number.
And then once they have your information whether you have submitted it directly to the charity
over their donation website or whether you have mailed it directly to the charity, once
they have your information they'll come out and get the vehicle. If you itemize in your
taxes, you can use the charitable donation as a, as a tax deduction. So you will get
a receipt for your charitable gift.

Any question that you have through out the donation process
should probably be directed directly to the charity so that you can be sure that you're
in direct contact with the charity at the time of your donation..
