Do you always sell the cars at auction or might you give the car to a family who needs transportation? Here in Houston we donate our old cars, when we get a new one, but I understand they are repaired, if necessary, and given to someone who otherwise could not afford one.
ReplyDeleteWe have done both, and will continue to do so on a selected basis. Overall though, we have found it better to sell the donated cars and then work one-on-one and case-by-case with a person who needs a car. In addition, if we feel a family or person needs a car, the part of CDM working with that person or family will "buy" the car with their budgeted funds and/or in partnership with the new owner. We don't try to mix out funding efforts with our service strategies. That said, for the most part our car donation program is 100% about fundraising for our work.
