Where Can We Donate a Car That Doesn't Run?
DH's car died and we're looking to donate it. Will an organization take a car that doesn't run? Which organization do you recommend? Thanks!

I always hear that "Kars for Kids" jingle on the radio.
Link: http://www.kars4kids.org
Number is on the site, you can ask.
I have no idea about the charity or anything. Just always hear the absolutely NAUSEATING jingle... But I try and be polite Bc it's a charity. But wow.

The use of the word 'charity' might be generous. There have been many reports that less than 20% of what they take in is actually used for children.
And the charity aspect is that they use that money to send children to religious schooling.

The kars for kids actually doesn't go to your "typical" charity cases I saw a special on them and the money goes to sending Jewish children to orthodox summer camps there was a big expose on it. I don't remember exactly but I there is some scandal surrounding that organization

Just found the site donateacar.com. You can search by state and charitable cause.

We recently donated DH's car to the LI chapter of Make a Wish Foundation. His car ran, but I know that they also accept cars that do not run. It was a very easy process. We called the number and they give you a case number. They then pass your contact info on to a local towing company they work with and the towing company contacts you to arrange pickup. You sign over the title of the vehicle to the company at pickup. About 2 weeks after the car was picked up, we got a tax deduction letter in the mail.
