First, i would talk to a tax professional to make sure you’ve got all your t’s crossed with the irs.

Second, you need to decide if you want to outsource the pickup and sale of the vehicles or manage that process yourself. Running this in-house usually gets most of the car’s value back to your charity. Some charities even have volunteers that repair the vehicles before they sell them or give them to a family.

If you choose to outsource the donation vehicle pickup and sale, find out what percentage the companies take to handle the donations. If it’s cheaper to outsource, you might want to go that route. Just make sure they’re reputable.

Hope that helps,

James
