An Alternative to Trading or Selling

After the dealership lowballed you on your trade-in, you spent a ton of time advertising your used sedan or SUV for sale. And now another potential buyer has reneged. You want to get rid of your old car, but you also want to get some value out of it. Consider donating it to a local non-profit organization.

A Smart Way to Lower Your Tax Bill

Of course, the idea of putting some cash in your pocket now is attractive. But what if you can lower your tax obligation and get a bigger refund when you file your returns? A 501(c)(3) non-profit such as Newgate School has the organization and infrastructure to help you get the maximum value (and most significant deduction) from your vehicle.

What is Newgate School?

Newgate is a tuition-free vocational training school that offers a curriculum in auto body repair and automobile maintenance. Students learn to repair and recondition all makes and models of vehicles, from 3-door hatchbacks to all-wheel drive Wranglers. Reconditioned cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs are sold or donated to local single working mothers through the Wheels for Women program.

Getting the Maximum Deduction from Your Old Car

A non-profit like Newgate is in a unique position to maximize the value of your vehicle donation so you get the best tax deduction possible.

Most non-profit organizations outsource auto repair and reconditioning, which can affect the final value of your donation. Since Newgate School uses donated vehicles to train students in auto body and mechanics, the school retains the total value of your car.

Once students in our programs complete work on a donated car, it is either offered for sale or given to Wheels for Women. Car sales fund the school's curricula and administrative activities.

If we sell the car, your tax deduction is the amount of the vehicle sale. If it's donated to a working mother, you'll get the maximum deduction allowed under the Internal Revenue Code. So your car donation stays local and helps your bottom line.

Your Gift Keeps Helping People in Your Community

You've found a great deal on your dream Corvette for sale in St. Paul and need to get rid of your old Nissan sedan.

When you give your vehicle to Newgate School, your gift keeps helping young people train for rewarding careers in the automotive industry. Call us today to get your donation process started.
