Car Donation Charities in the State of Maryland

by Karen Campese CEO of Cars4Charities

Donating a car to charity is a truly wonderful act of kindness and generosity. You not only help the charity when you donate your car, you help yourself through the tax deduction you get. You also get the satisfaction of knowing you have helped someone in need. There are many Maryland Charities you can help with your car donation.

The mission of the Prevent Cancer Foundation, formerly known as the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation, is to advocate and support the prevention and early detection of cancer through research, education and community outreach to all populations, including children and the underserved. Since their founding in 1985, they have provided more than $120 million to these efforts throughout the United States. The Prevent Cancer Foundation has an A rating from the American Institute of Philanthropy.

The Greater Maryland-DC Chapter of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America works to help those suffering with asthma and allergy to successfully manage and control their disease through education, advocacy, referrals and research. They are the only asthma and allergy patient organization that offers programs and tools for patients, caregivers, and health professionals.

The Shepherd’s Table has been welcoming and serving those in need in Silver Spring since 1983. They have served more than 1 million meals. They also have an eye clinic that provides vision testing, glaucoma screening and prescription eyeglass service.

Teach for America works to ensure that children in low income areas get an excellent education. Maryland is ranked first in the country in education. Unfortunately, in the state’s largest city, Baltimore, 40% of the students do not graduate from high school. Teach for America is working to improve the rate of graduation by recruiting leaders to work to expand educational opportunities in Baltimore. The recruits also teach there for two years.

The Family Tree of Maryland is dedicated to improving the community by providing families with proven solutions to prevent child abuse and neglect. They offer free programs and information to parents to give them the skills they need to raise their children.

The mission of National Capital Area of the Boy Scouts of America is to develop the character of young people and prepare them to make ethical and moral choices throughout their lifetimes. They operate more than 300 local councils throughout Maryland, Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia.

For more than 20 years, Foodlink of Maryland has provided almost 23 million pounds of food and other essentials to members of the southern Maryland community. They offer immediate help directly to families and individuals or by assisting case workers, clergy and community activists.

Each of these fine Maryland charities has asked Cars4Charities to handle their car donations. You can donate your car even if it no longer runs or is in very poor shape. Your car will be picked up fast and free. In return for your car donation, you will get a valuable tax deduction.
