How we vet charity partners
IRS 501(c)(3) ruling letter
Verify that the charity holds a valid IRS 501(c)(3) status, ensuring that your donations are tax-deductible and that the organization adheres to nonprofit guidelines.
Charity Navigator rating
Look for a strong rating on Charity Navigator. This evaluates a charity's financial health, accountability, and transparency, helping to ensure responsible use of funds.
Form 990 transparency
Check for accessible and transparent Form 990 documents. These forms provide insights into the charity's financial activities, helping you assess their operational efficiency.
State registration compliance
Confirm that the charity is registered with the Arizona Attorney General's office. This ensures that the organization meets state fundraising regulations and maintains its legal standing.
What your donation funds
Your vehicle donation can significantly impact the fight against diseases that affect countless lives. For example, the sale of a car valued between $1,500 and $3,000 can fund vital research initiatives, such as grants for clinical trials that test new treatments for rare diseases or provide necessary pediatric equipment in local hospitals. By donating a vehicle, you contribute to a tangible difference in the health and well-being of patients, ensuring they have access to cutting-edge care and research-supported solutions.
How we route proceeds
At Wheels to Worth, we take the vetting process seriously. Before routing proceeds from your car donation, we thoroughly verify potential partner charities for eligibility. This includes ensuring they meet the established criteria such as IRS status, transparency metrics, and state compliance. By fostering these partnerships, we ensure that your contributions directly support legitimate organizations working tirelessly towards medical advancements and patient advocacy.
