What Are Your Car Donation Portland Options?
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios

Car donation is an excellent option whenever you want to get rid of an old vehicle rendered obsolete by your latest purchase. It could also save you some expenses via tax writeoffs, if you donate your car to charitable institutions recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This has made car donations a excellent option in recent years. And when it comes to car donation Portland, Oregon has its share of acknowledged charitable institutions ready and willing to accept what you have to offer.

Let's take a look at these foundations in Portland that are indeed recognized by the IRS and which will entitle you to tax deductions whenever you will decide to assign to them your used vehicles.

First in the list of car donation Portland destinations would be the United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley (UWMWV). The UWMWV is a socio-civic organization that aims to uplift the health and living standards for the people of Oregon. The hungry, the homeless, the people in crisis, the elderly, the children, the jobless, the abandoned... these are just some of the people whom the UWMWV seeks to serve. Their services are as broad as the people they want to help out. And having been in the business of benevolence for many years now, the UWMWV is one of Portland's most renowned charitable institutions.

Another in the list of car donation Portland options would be the Urban Homesteading Assistance Board. This institution aims to help out those who are financially burdened so that they may have a home that they could call their own. They pursue many projects so that they'd be able to build their funds which could be used for housing programs and low, and even 0%, interest loans they could extend to those in need.

But car donation Portland choices are not limited to these institutions alone. There are more, of course, like many Boys and Girls Club chapters, which gather together kindhearted individuals for the joint pursuit of charitable purposes. They won't necessarily find a direct use for the vehicles you will donate. They could opt to sell them and make use of the funds that could be derived from the sale

In any event, you'd still be afforded tax deductions. If the charity you have chosen decides to auction the car you have donated, you'd be entitled to a tax write off equivalent to the selling price of the same. If the charity decides to use the car instead, for some specified charity purpose, you'd be rewarded with a tax write off equivalent to the fair market value of the vehicle.

Either way, you win, and with your victory comes the satisfaction of being able to help out other people in need.
