Mission And Purpose

Cars for Charity, Inc. is a Colorado 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The purpose and mission of Cars for Charity, Inc. is to act as an enabling entity for other non-profit organizations. Many non-profit organizations are unable to have an in-house vehicle donation program, because they financially are unable to spend the money required by the Colorado Department of Revenue to obtain a Dealer's License, bond and do not have the staff, time and expertise to manage an in-house program. Cars for Charity, Inc. eliminates these obstacles. Cars for Charity holds the Dealer's License, the motor vehicle bond, and brokers the donated vehicles to the appropriate facility for direct sale, auction or as scrap.

Under the new IRS rules, if the claimed value of the donated vehicle, boat, RV, or motorcycle is more than $500 and the vehicle is sold, the taxpayer can only claim the gross proceeds from the sale. After the vehicle is sold, Cars for Charity will send the donor a statement with the amount the vehicle sold for at auction. Taxpayers can still deduct the fair market value of a vehicle worth $500 or less. If the vehicle sells for $500 or less, Cars for Charity is not required to notify the donor of the selling price; the donor can claim up to $500 as a deduction.
