In the last few years many new charities have come to be for all sorts of different causes. There are ones for cancer and AIDs where you can just donate money but then there are some charities where you can even make a car donation. This is where you can actually give your old car to a needy family without means of transportation. You can even give a car that does not run or has been in a crash to this charity and they will sell the car for scrap. But even the money they get from selling a car for scrap goes to a needy family. When you donate your car for this charity you will receive some money from the government that must be used on your taxes. This system of car donations is very commonly known as the cash for clunkers program. It is a very good idea to look into if you are getting a new car and do not know what you will do with your old one.
