How we vet charity partners

State humane-society accreditation
Verify that the charity is accredited by local or state humane societies, ensuring they meet established standards for animal care and welfare.
Adoption-rate transparency
Review the charity's public reporting on adoption rates. Transparent organizations will share this data to demonstrate their effectiveness in finding homes for animals.
Per-animal cost disclosure
Look for detailed financial disclosures, including the per-animal cost of care. This transparency indicates a responsible use of donations and effective management.
What your donation funds
By facilitating the sale of a vehicle valued between $1,500 and $3,000, CarLift Baltimore can provide vital funding to address urgent needs within animal welfare initiatives. For example, this funding can cover the costs of spay/neuter procedures for over 100 animals, ensuring future generations of pets are not abandoned or neglected. Additionally, the funds help support rehabilitation efforts for injured wildlife, allowing these animals to return to their natural habitats. Your support creates lasting change in the lives of animals in Baltimore.
How we route proceeds
To ensure that your donations are routed to eligible partners, our team at CarLift Baltimore conducts thorough vetting of all participating charities. This includes verifying their IRS 501(c)(3) status and assessing their compliance with state registration requirements. We also ensure that these organizations meet high standards for animal welfare and have a proven track record of successful programs. By matching your donations with reputable partners, we maximize the positive impact on Baltimore's animal welfare community.
