  Auto Donation

 

FCSN has established a vehicle donation program with an outside corporation to accept charity car, boat or RV. The outside corporation is Car Program LLC www.donateacar.com. For Tax Purpose, the car donor can claim tax deduction from either the sale price of the donated vehicle or $500, whichever is larger, in their income tax return. For example, in the 28% tax bracket, a sale price of $4800 will give you a tax credit of $1344. Therefore, you donation is equivalent to selling your car at a value of $1344 and at the same time, FCSN will benefit from your donation. Amount of tax deduction will differ for each donor. Please check with your tax advisor to see how this tax deduction can benefit you.

Step to donate the car:

1.     Fill Form In the website: “Vehicle Donation Form”

3.     Wait Again for a Call: A representative from Car Program LLC will also make a customer service call to you on the 4th business day.

4.     Collect the Donation Receipt: When the towing agent comes to pick up your vehicle, the tow driver will give you the donation receipt and will get the car, keys and title from you.

  Corporate Matching

 

How do I get my gift matched?

Many of our sponsors participate in their employer's matching gift program, in which the employer matches their employees' charitable contributions by sending an equal amount. 

Some companies even match the value of employee volunteer hours in public service or education provided to your community.  

You can increase the impact of your donations to Friend with Children with Special Needs by participating in your company's matching gift program.

Here’s how it works:  

  • Contact the human resources office/Payroll Dept to find out for a Matching Gift Policy.
  • Request a Matching Form from your company.
  • Complete the employee portion of the form and submit the form to FCSN with your gift.
  • FCSN will verify the completed form and return it to the company.
  • Your company sends the matching gift to FCSN once they receive our verification.
  • FCSN will process your form and return it to your employer.

Note: Some companies process Matching Gifts electronically and may have specific instructions to complete the process in that manner.  

Please mail all gift and forms to:

Friends of Children with Special Needs
