Most organizations sell the vehicles and use the proceeds to fund programs.
Others use cars as teaching tools in educational programs. Still other charities give away or sell the vehicles to people with low incomes. Each of these is a valid way for a charitable organization to exercise its mission. Be clear about whether you are donating your vehicle directly to a charity or to an intermediary such as an auto action, car dealer or professional fundraiser . If the charity does not accept your vehicle directly, ask about the dollar amount or percentage that the charity receives.
