Donate Your Car to a Veteran, Struggling Family Maximum Fair Market Value Tax Deduction Possible

Donate Direct - No Middlemen - 100% Goes to CharityFast - Free Towing Nationwide Within 24 - 48 HoursDonate a Vehicle in Any Condition, Running or Not

• 1-800-Charity Cars is the only national car donation charity dedicated to providing donated vehicles to Veterans and struggling families which enables the donor to claim the “fair market value” tax deduction.

• We believe that our program utilizes our nation’s valuable donated vehicle resources in the most productive way-providing free vehicles to Veterans and struggling families. Few programs impact the lives of individuals and families as dramatically and immediately as 1-800-Charity Cars.

• It is the Charity Cars mission to provide as many vehicles as possible to deserving families. • If you would like to be 100% certain that your vehicle will be used as a "program vehicle" which entitles you to receive the maximum "Fair Market Value" tax receipt, simply ask our donation representative about our pre-approval process (1-800-242-7489 x 2). Although weappreciate all vehicle donations, in any condition, running or not, the vast majority of donated vehicles do not qualify to be "program vehicles" (provided to a qualified person or entity). Charity Cars bases its decision on many factors including, but not limited to: year, make, model, mileage, condition, location, recipient, repair and funding limitations. Since placing a vehicle with a client is the exception rather than the rule, donors should assume that their vehicle will be sold at auction or for salvage with the proceeds returning to our charity. • We will notify the donor by phone and in writing if their vehicle qualifies as a "program vehicle" and will be provided to a qualified person or entity.

OTHER PROMOTIONAL IDEAS

Promote, Promote, & Promote: Promote 1-800-Charity Cars www.800CharityCars.org and Free Charity Cars www.FreeCharityCars.org on as many social networks, blogs, cause pages, forums, groups, YouTube, etc. as possible!

Contact vehicle sellers on websites: Websites such as craigslist.com, autotader.com, cars.com, rvtrader.com boattrader.com etc., can be a great resource to find people with unwanted vehicles. Reaching out to these sellers with a few sentences can be very effective. Keep it short and sweet but always identify yourself as a volunteer member of FreeCharityCars.org. Encourage people who are selling their vehicles to visit our car-donation website at www.800charitycars.org to learn about the advantages of donating their vehicle. (Example: Donate your vehicle to the Original 1-800-Charity Cars. You may receive the full fair-market value tax-deduction for your vehicle donation and help a struggling member of the community get back on their feet. 1-800-Charity Cars accepts cars, trucks and boats, in any condition, running or not. Towing is free. Visit www.800CharityCars.org or call 1-800-Charity Cars. Thank you!”)

Auto Dealer Program: FCC does not receive cars from dealers and never has. Our dealer program had consisted of an advertising partnership but it has proven unsuccessful and we are no longer pursuing this program.
