Donate your old vehicle to an Oregon charity.
Charities in Oregon happily accept vehicle donations. Vehicle donations are beneficial to charities because they serve a variety of purposes, from providing transportation to the needy and the elderly to financial benefits from being sold at auction. The monetary gain from auctioned vehicles helps charities maintain their overhead and provide for their cause. Many charities in Oregon accept vehicle donations, regardless of whether the vehicles run, because they will find something to do with your donated vehicle.
Instructions
1. Find an Oregon-based charity to which you would like to donate your old car. Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) and Habitat for Humanity's Cars for Homes are two of the many Oregon charities that accept vehicle donations. Visit the websites of Donation Line or Kars 4 Kids and enter your Oregon zip code for a list of the charities in your area.
2. Contact the charity about donating your vehicle. Some charities, such as Habitat's Cars for Homes, provide online donation applications for donors to fill out with your personal information and your vehicle information. Others, such as OPB, want you to contact them directly to speak with a representative about your donation.
3. Arrange a time with the charity for your car to be picked up. Charities such as OPB use a specific towing company for all of their pick-ups, which means it might take a little longer to have your vehicle picked up than if you donate to another charity that uses multiple companies.
4. Sign your vehicle title over to your chosen charity. You will receive tax information in the mail regarding the amount you can deduct on your federal income tax return for your donation.
