Got an old car that you don’t drive anymore? You can help others by donating it to your local charity organization. If you live in Houston, there are several organizations that will happily put your old car to good use by benefiting their programs. Not only the donation costs you nothing, but also you will get a tax deduction by unloading the car.
Below is the basic guide on how to do car donation in Houston:
1. There are two popular names when it comes to car donation in Houston; Giving Heart of America and the Houston Public Broadcasting Sytem (PBS). Both utilize such donations to help with local needs. PBS also accepts donations of non-working cars so you don’t have to worry if your car doesn’t run properly anymore; you can still donate it. Houston’s Helping Hands Charity welcomes vehicle donations and provides donors a list of other vehicle-accepting charities in the area. To get a list of Houston charities accepting vehicle donations, you can visit Donation Line’s website and enter your zipcode.
2. If you have decided on where to donate your car, you can start calling the chosen charity to begin the process. Some charities have online donation applications, which will save your time and make whole process easier, while some require phone contact to start the donation process.
3. Provide detailed information about your vehicles like model, mileage and year then arrange a schedule for the charity to pick up your car. You are required to sign over your vehicle title, when they pick it up.
