About this program 

• FACTS

• 300,000 vehicles donated to charities every year
• Total value: over $750 million
• Average costs: 85%
• Average to beneficiary(ies): under 15%
• Most charities use third party promoters and administrators
• Majority of the funds are used for marketing & advertising, administration, salaries, bonuses, etc.

 • WHY DONATE TO CHARACTER U

We use a system designed for non-profit entities, enabling us to by-pass the third parties normally involved, thus eliminating the need to use the majority of the funds for marketing and administration. The end-result is that in average 85% of the net revenue of a vehicle donation goes to the intended beneficiary, much better that the 15% national average. We receive the donated vehicle, consider the desired end-result desired by the donor, determine the best course of action to meet the objectives, dispose of the vehicle (donate it to needing person or entity, or sells to a third party), and distribute the proceeds as per the donor's desire.

• Average costs: under 15%

• HOW IT WORKS

There are three major elements:

1. Acquire the vehicles: through marketing & advertising, or joint-venturing with other charities
2. Dispose of the vehicles: donation to a qualified recipient, resale retail, to third party or through auction
3. Distribute the proceeds: used for a specific purpose taking the donors' desire into consideration, with 85% or more going to where originally intended (the remaining 15% is use to cover expenses such as towing, repairs, selling fees, etc).
