Get as much information about the car donation as you can before deciding whether to donate, and to which charity.

Ads from vehicle donation programs are appearing with greater frequency on the Internet, TV, radio, and in print. Car donation tips abound, telling taxpayers how to make car donations for charity, how to choose car donation organizations, and more. As donors become more aware of this option, controversy is also growing. As in all things, it is important for a consumer (or, in this case, a donor) to become educated and informed so that he or she may make a wise choice as to whether or not, and to which charity, to donate a car.
