All About Car Donations

<h1>All About Car Donations</h1>Author: <a title="Dave Markel" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/dave-markel/315.htm">Dave Markel</a> 	Car donations have become a great way to help charity.
People simply offer their unwanted vehicle to a charity.
The charity either has a lot where the car is sold or has
an auction company take care of the sale.
	In the United States car donations are tax deductible. This
has made car donations very popular. The IRS even has a
form just for those wishing to get the tax deduction. Also
the charity you are going to donate to have to have "non
profit" status with the IRS. 
	In 2000 nearly 3/4 of a million people donated their cars
with a tax savings of over $650 million. Generally when the
value of the donation is under $4000 the donor determines
the value. While donations over this value are sold and the
donor gets the to right off the actual value the car sold
for.
	In the US donations are accepted in all 50 states. Pick up
of your vehicle often occurs within 24 - 48 hours after
arranging your donation. You can even donate your car if it
isn't operating as long as the value is more then the cost
to have it towed.
	Donations aren't limited to only cars. Trucks, vans, RV's,
trailers and boats are also accepted as donations. If you
have any questions about if your vehicle will be accepted
as a donation it is best to call a registered charity. 
	Some of the charities that benefit from car donations are:
	1. Red Cross
	2. Habitate for Humanity
	3. Boy Scouts
	4. Cancer Research Institute
	To name a few.
