Here’s a message from Car Program LLC, your Golden Rule Society donation specialists.    
  
Welcome to America's largest and most trusted car donation center. Thanks to the generous support from people like you, we have processed over 500,000 car donations for hundreds of charities since 1992 - making us America's #1 choice for donating your car!

Are you thinking of selling or trading in that old car, boat or RV? Why not donate it instead? As a charitable contribution your donation could make a big difference. In this easy-to-use site you can find answers to your frequently asked questions and complete a simple online Donation Form below. Or, after reviewing the frequently asked questions and the Donation Form and you still need help, please contact our Account Manager, Mr. Peter Engler, via e-mail at engler@carprogram.com

We will make arrangements to conveniently and quickly pick-up your vehicle donation at no cost to you. We handle the title transfer requirements and provide you with a tax-deductible donation receipt at the time of pick-up!

To get your vehicle donation rolling now, just go through the frequently asked questions and fill in the Donation Form. 
    
 1. What can I donate?

A: We accept most vehicles and vessels including but not limited to cars, trucks, trailers, boats and RV's.
    
 2. My car hasn't run in years. Can I still donate it?

A: Yes, we are able to accept most vehicles running or not (exceptions include older vehicles whose value would not offset the cost of towing). To find out if we can accept your vehicle, please complete and submit our Donation Form below.
     
 3. What do I need to donate my vehicle?

A: We would like the title to the vehicle, but if you do not have it please call us anyway. It is possible that other arrangements may be made. Again, please contact our Account Manager, Mr. Peter Engler, via e-mail at engler@carprogram.com
4. Can you pick up vehicles in all 50 states? 

A: Yes, we are able to pick up accepted vehicles in all 50 states.
   
5. How will my car be picked up?

A: We will arrange to have your vehicle towed away by a professionally licensed, bonded and insured towing company.
  
6. How long will it take to pick up my car? 

A: We will arrange for a towing company to contact you via telephone within four business days. If you need your car picked up sooner, please let us know, as we are oftentimes able to accommodate rush orders as well. 
   
7. Is my donation tax deductible?

A: Yes, vehicle and vessel donations made to bona fide charitable organizations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. The Golden Rule Society is classified with the IRS as a non-profit IRC 501 (c) (3) charitable organization. However, individual tax situations vary so please check with your tax professional to determine what tax benefit you may receive from a tax-deductible donation. Please tell your tax professional If you accept our offer of the $500.00 discount gift certificate for a shopping spree from World of America Gift Certificates. The $500 shopping certificate means you can purchase any item or items of your choice from the online store at a 65% discount.
   
8. How does my tax deduction work?

A: The IRS allows you, the taxpayer, to claim a tax deduction of (a) the value of your vehicle up to $500 or (b) if we sell the vehicle for more than $500 we will notify you of that value for your tax purposes. 

For additional information, the IRS provides a Donor's Guide to Car Donations, which sets forth the manner in which the IRS requires you to determine the value of your donated property. Here is the link to "A Donor’s Guide to Car Donations". http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p4303.pdf
