It's hard to believe that it can happen in America, but it does. To hundreds of thousands of children every day who belong to desperately poor families, there's never enough food, never enough to wear and never enough access to medicine. As hard as they try, children's charities are simply not able to keep up. One of the best ways they have of trying to keep up involves a rather strange kind of charity-seeking – it is the car donation charity.
As odd as it may sound, the car donation charity system is really one of the more important things to keep children's charities afloat.
The whole idea of donating cars to children's charities came up about 15 years ago when used car dealers thought of a little trick to get a little extra generosity from the IRS. They would donate cars that were nearly junk to children's charities, and they would tell the IRS that they had donated really valuable cars. They would seek high-value deductions for those clunkers.
