In the car donation business, a few charities are, unfortunately, less than stellar. In the news recently, you may have heard about Cars 4 Causes®, which is currently undergoing a lawsuit for allegedly failing to pay the funds owed to the fundraiser. You can read about the lawsuit here, but here is the short version of what happened:

• Cars 4 Causes hired Charity Development, LLC to handle the logistics of car donations. Charity Development handles the repair, storage and selling of the cars given to Cars 4 Causes, and Charity Development in turn gives Cars 4 Causes the money.
• Charity Development claims that they have been delivering more proceeds to Cars 4 Causes than the company has actually donated to charities.
• Charity Development asserts that Cars 4 Causes is only giving about 16% of the proceeds to the designated charities, while they are spending the rest on their own internal overhead and other programs.

When you want to donate a car to charity, make sure you choose a reputable company that will do its part of the bargain. Make sure you research the charity company online and find out everything you can about them. If they are reputable, then they will not have anything to hide.
