Why Donate a Car to Cancer Research?

Donating your car to CRI directly supports the advancement of cutting-edge cancer immunotherapy. Unlike traditional treatments, immunotherapy leverages the body’s own immune system to target and destroy cancer cells more effectively and with fewer side effects. Your vehicle donation contributes to the following:

Accelerating Research: By funding clinical trials and research projects, your donation helps scientists develop new immunotherapy treatments that can save lives.

Enhancing Precision Medicine: Your contribution helps in the development of personalized medicine approaches, ensuring that treatments are more effective for individual patients.

Expanding Education and Awareness: Donations also support educational initiatives that inform patients, healthcare providers, and the public about the benefits and advancements in cancer immunotherapy.

Frequently asked questions

Who can donate to CRI?

Anyone who has an interest in helping to advance the fight against cancer is encouraged to donate to CRI. Individuals can make cash donations and also include CRI in their estate planning or planned giving. Corporations and foundations also can make donations.

Is my donation to CRI tax-deductible?

Yes, donations to CRI are tax-deductible. CRI qualifies as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, which means your contributions are deductible for federal or state tax purposes as permitted by law. For a donation to be deductible, it must be made to a recognized charity that is operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, educational, or other qualifying purposes as defined by the IRS.

What are the benefits of planned giving?

Planned giving options such as bequests and gift annuities may provide significant tax savings or financial planning advantages. It is advisable to consult with your financial advisor to understand your situation’s specific benefits and ensure compliance with current tax laws.

What should I know about the tax deductions for charitable giving?

Recent changes in tax laws have affected charitable giving incentives:

Non-Itemized Deductions: Temporary provisions have allowed specific deductions for cash donations for taxpayers who do not itemize their deductions. This situation is subject to change, and checking for the latest regulations is crucial.

Itemized Deductions: Limits on charitable contributions for taxpayers who itemize their deductions are traditionally capped at a percentage of the taxpayer’s Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). These percentages can vary, so it is important to confirm the current limits.

Corporate Donations: Corporations are generally allowed to deduct charitable contributions up to a certain percentage of their taxable income. The exact percentage can vary and is governed by the latest tax regulations.

Charitable tax rules are complex and frequently updated. We highly recommend consulting with a tax advisor to understand how the latest laws impact your charitable contributions. Your advisor can offer personalized guidance based on current regulations and your financial situation.

For more detailed information about the status and privileges of qualified charitable organizations, please refer to the IRS’s guidelines on “Exempt Purposes — Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3)” or visit the IRS website.

We are also a proud member of the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance, the most rigorous evaluator of charity activity with 20 standards of accountability and ethical practice.
