Steps to Donating a Vehicle to CCC

Visit:

www.careasy.org/nonprofit/commonwealth-catholic-charities

Provide name and contact details

CARS will arrange for the pick-up of your vehicle

(typically within 24-72 hours)

Sit back and relax, knowing you are making someone's life a little brighter.

Donating is easy and pick-up is free

Vehicle donations are tax-deductible, and you could reduce your taxable income when taxes are itemized

Donating avoids the costs associated with keeping a car (such as registration, insurance, car repairs, and more)

It's better than a low trade-in offer.

You can free up space at home and/or stop paying for extra parking.

Donating to a CCC feels good and makes a difference.

Donating skips the costs and hassles associated with selling a car

(Like paying for advertising and insurance, or for car repairs to keep your car in running condition while you wait for a buyer)

What kind of vehicles will CCC accept?

We can accept all kinds of vehicles, including cars, trucks, RVs, motorcycles, boats, trailers, campers, ATVs, farm machinery, planes, heavy equipment, and tractors.

What happens to my vehicle after I donate it?

If the vehicle is in good condition, it can be used by CCC to serve clients or may be gifted to a client. If the vehicle is not in good condition, then it will be sold at auction and the proceeds returned to CCC to support clients and programs.

What are the tax benefits to donating my car?

Because CCC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, vehicle donations can be claimed as deductions on your federal tax return. We recommend speaking with a tax expert before proceeding. If your vehicle's value is $500- the IRS allows your to claim up to $500, no matter how much the vehicle sells for. If your vehicle's value is $500+ the IRS allows you to claim the full value of the donation.

What information do I need to donate my car?

You will need to provide the following: - Car title, free of liens - Year, make, model - VIN - Mileage

“I donated my old car because I wanted to help someone who truly needed and would value my old car. I also wanted to give back to a charity which facilitated my adoption many years ago to my wonderful parents.” – Kathy
