When it comes to car donation, there are hundreds of organizations to choose from. Broadly, there are three types of organizations that accept car donations. These are donation broker, non-profit organization and non profit brokers.

Donation brokers are those people that act as a broker to a charity. They work for making profits and can include professional fund raising companies, car dealerships, etc. These are those people that look after the logistics, processing of your car donation, etc. Generally, their services are hired by a charity to perform various tasks. Donation brokers charge the charity a fixed percent of the total donation value.

Non-profit organizations such as a registered charity work more or less the same way as donation brokers. But they keep all the profits within the organization for supporting the charities they are attached with. Remember, by donating to these organizations you have no say where your car donations proceeds are being sent.

The third type of organization that shall welcome your initiative to donate car is non-profit broker. These brokers receive donations on behalf of a charity and process them. For any non-profit organization that hires non profit brokers, arranging for logistics and processing the donations can be a labor intensive and costly job. By donating your car to a non-profit broker you can ensure that your donation goes to the charity of your choice.

There are many other organizations that accept car donations. These support causes such as medical research, famine, out-reach programs, natural disaster, etc.
