Choosing a non-profit to receive the proceeds from your donated vehicle is
exciting and rewarding! Many donors already have a favorite non-profit in
mind. Please click on the "Pick a Charity" button at left to find out if your favorite
is included. Our site offers a brief description of each non-profit organization. If not, we can easily bring your
favorite charity on board.
The
best way to gather information regarding their
mission, activities, and management of financial resources
is simply
to call the non-profit and speak to someone in charge - generally the
Executive Director or a Board Member. Ask about activities and request a
copy of the organization's most recent form 990 that is sent annually to the
IRS. This form discloses income and expenses, as well as program
accomplishments.
Another way to get this
information independently is to use the free services of
Guidestar,
a national organization that provides information about any of the 850,000
tax-exempt 501(c)(3) groups in the United States. Click on the link below to
access
Guidestar's website, where you can easily download information about the
non-profit you want to evaluate.
