SCA Launches National Vehicle Donation Program
We Need Your Help!

This summer we are excited to announce the launch of our new nation-wide vehicle donation program!  Working with America’s Car Donation Center, SCA supporters can now donate unwanted vehicles and vessels, including, but not limited to, cars, trucks, trailers, boats and RVs, with 70% of proceeds benefiting SCA. The   process is very simple, much easier than selling a car or arranging to dispose of it. You, the interested donor, fill out the Vehicle Donation Form (located on our website at http://www.sacchildadv.org/car.pdf), fax the form to the Car Donation Center at 916-631-1328 and within 4 days the company will contact you to arrange a towing time. At no cost to you, the company takes care of all fees and paperwork, giving you a receipt at the time of  towing. And it gets better: your donated vehicle is tax deductible, benefitting both you and SCA. Through this rewarding experience, the donor is given an opportunity to provide resources to a worthwhile organization.  Because SCA receives only 55% of its budget from state funding, the remaining 45% must come from outside  donations.  In difficult economic times, many non-profit organizations are struggling, but, through the car donation program, SCA hopes to reach its fund-raising goals. Please consider donating your unwanted vehicle to benefit SCA and urge your friends and relatives, wherever they may live in the good old USA, to do the same!

Some Frequently Asked Questions about Vehicle Donation

Q:   My car hasn’t run in years, can I still donate it?

A: Yes, we are able to accept most vehicles, running or not (exceptions include some older
vehicles whose value would not offset the cost of towing). To find out if we can accept your vehicle please complete and submit our donation form, found online at  www.sacchildadv.org/car.pdf

Q: What do I need in order to donate my vehicle?

A: We would like the title of the vehicle, but if you do not have it please call us anyway.  It is possible that other arrangements can be made. Please call America’s Car Donation Center toll-free at 1-800-237-5714.

Q: Can you pick up vehicles in all 50 states?

A: Yes, we are able to pick up accepted vehicles in the continental US and Hawaii.

Q: How will my car be picked up?

A: We will arrange for a towing company to contact you via telephone within 48 hours. If you need your car picked up sooner, other accommodations can be arranged.

Q: Is my donation tax deductible?

A: Yes, vehicle and vessel donations made to bona fide charitable organizations (including SCA!) are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. However, individual tax situations vary so please check with a tax professional to determine what tax benefit you may receive from a tax deductible donation.
