According to literature from the New Jersey Attorney General’s office, “Americans gave more than $306.4 billion to charities in 2007.â€Â With so many charities to choose from country, how do you know if the charity you’re considering is legitimate? Before you donate that used car, it’s important to do your research so that you make sure your donation isn’t in vain. A great place to start is the New Jersey Attorney General’s office, where they have a searchable database of registered charities.
One of the more resourceful and creative charities in the New Jersey area is Excess Access. Part of the Matter of Trust organization, Excess Access’s mission is to pair people in need with donation items. Excess Access matches business and household item donations (including cars and other vehicles) with the wish lists of nonprofits that can provide pick-ups or will accept drop offs. People wishing to donate must first register with the site for a flat yearly fee of $5 for all participants, but the matching they do is fantastic. Here is a listing of some recent donations that have been successfully matched and picked up.
Most national organizations such as Goodwill and Salvation Army also accept used car donations, as well as other types of vehicles. Boats, RV’s, motorcycles, trailers and even jet skis have been donated for resale, allowing these charities to fund all kinds of programs for the needy. There are Goodwill donation centers all over New Jersey – for a list of them, click here. Goodwill accepts cars, boats and RVs in both running and non-working condition. To arrange for pick up or for more information about accepted vehicles, you can call 1-877-577-GIVE.  Salvation Army also has many donation centers in New Jersey, however, all it takes is one phone call and they will pick up your car donation free of charge. You can also fill out their online donation form.
