Where can I donate my car for someone who needs a car, and is not going to sell it?

Question

I just bought a new car. I decided to not trade in my old car because it just wasn't worth it. I want to donate it to someone who really needs a car but cannot afford it. I found out that charities that take car donations actually sell the cars for the money. I'm against this in principle because the auction place or some car dealer is going to make a profit, not me, not the charity. So is there an organization out there that takes cars to give them to people in need?

Answer 1

I really in need for a car to get to work. With what I'm making, buying a car is big deal. You can donate it to me or to a church.

Answer 2

I believe the Kidney Society (I do not know exactly what it is called) takes them, and will give you a tax deduction for giving it to them.  I am pretty sure they give it away, too.  Keep in mind that in some states, it is illegal to just give a car away.  So they may have to charge a small amount for it.  I am sure they will appreciate your donation nonetheless, and you are doing a good thing by donating it and not wanting profit to be made.
