If you care about what organization will benefit from your donation, be sure to check that the charity of your choice participates in a car donation program.

While your interests may lie primarily in disposing of an unwanted vehicle and helping the needy, you may also have specific intentions for how your donation will be used. If you know what organization you wish to benefit, make sure that organization does accept vehicle donations directly, or participates in a vehicle donation program. Also, find out which car donation program(s) with which it works. When you donate your vehicle, be sure to specify the charity to which you want the vehicle or proceeds thereof to be donated
