New way to Help: Car Donation
Have an extra vehicle and don't want the hassle of selling it or fighting for a reasonable trade-in price? Our president tried it out and couldn't believe how easy it was. The car was picked up at her home at the time most convenient for her and documentation for deducting the full value of the car followed automatically. No surprise fees or reductions that can happen with trade-ins. More Information here.
