Kids with IgAN Diet and Exercise Continuing Education for Physicians your convenience -- you don't even have to be there when the driver comes, if that's easier for you. Included with the documents you receive will be a formal letter of thanks, certifying that you have donated the vehicle. This letter shows the IRS that you are authorized for a charitable tax deduction. Included, will be a Kelley Blue Book printout describing your vehicle's value. We use the maximum buyers price from the blue book to calculate the vehicle valuation not the sellers valuation! FOR EXAMPLE If you are a private citizen selling a 1994 Ford Taurus GL the Kelly Blue Book says you can expect to get about $5000. However Kelly says a dealer is expected to get $9500 from the same sale. We can accept your donation valued at something between $5000 -$9500, you decide the "fair market value." So your $9500 gift to the IgA Nephropathy Foundation provides you with a tax deduction (if you are in the 50% tax rate category) worth $4750!!! not so different from the $5000 you might get if you sold the car yourself. If your gift is worth more than $4999 the IRS may require you to have an estimate from a person who makes such estimates professionally. For cars most used car dealers are willing to do this for you. Similarly for boats or other items those involved in sales of such items will often be happy to give you a charity fair market appraisal. If you are in a high tax bracket and want to make a contribution of a very valuable car you might find this donation mechanism much better than selling the vehicle. What Happens To The Donation? Donated items are sold by well established public auctions. In this way receipts are maximized, delay is minimized and the chance of fraud is eliminated. Vehicles are picked up and sold to the highest bidder at vehicle auctions, as soon as possible. We can only arrange pick up of cars in major metropolitan areas. Real Estate and Lots are currently being sold at local public auctions in places like San Francisco and Los Angeles. But do keep in touch with this site. Soon, real estate donated to our charity clients may be sold by virtual auction. Jewelry, Collectibles, Antiques, recent model Pentium or Mac Computers etc., are sold at appropriate estate auctions. With your donation our foundation can go forward to fund vitally needed programs. Government support has dwindled, your donation does make a
