How to Donate a Car in Pennsylvania

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Luz Luis. I work for the National Kidney Foundation and I'm going to be giving you some tips about how to donate a car in Pennsylvania. The most important thing is to choose the right charity to donate to. Make sure that you call the charity on the phone, and that they're local and that their address matches the address that's in the phone book or on the Internet. Ask them if they take car donations and if they do take car donations, ask the charity what percent of those car donations go, what percent of the sale of the vehicle go to benefit, their, their program. You might also ask the charity how much of the money that they earn as an organization goes to overhead. You shouldn't donate to any organization that has more than a twenty-five percent overhead and at least seventy-five percent of their proceeds go directly to fund charitable programs. Once you've made that selection, you simply need to follow their directions about car donation. Go to their one-eight-hundred number, or their website. Have your title in your hand and simply follow their directions. If you'd like to donate to the National Kidney Foundation, which is the nation's largest car donation program, same instructions. You simply find your title, you go to one, you can call 1 (800) 488 CARS, or donate on-line at kidneycars.org. Make sure that you have your title in your hand. Make sure to sign your name on the title to release your ownership and write the name of the charity, in this case, National Kidney Foundation, here as the buyer. Never leave the title blank. And be sure to keep in contact with the Kidney Foundation or your charity of choice when donating throughout the donation process."
