How we vet charity partners
IRS 501(c)(3) Ruling Letter
It's essential to verify that the charity has a valid IRS 501(c)(3) ruling. This ensures that your donations are tax-deductible and aids in confirming the charity's non-profit status.
Charity Navigator Rating
Check the charity's rating on Charity Navigator. A strong rating indicates that the organization is financially healthy, has a proven track record, and is committed to transparency and accountability.
Form 990 Transparency
Review the charity's Form 990 filings, which provide insight into their finances, governance, and compliance with IRS regulations. This form can confirm how funds are allocated and spent.
State Registration
Ensure the charity is registered with the Maryland Attorney General's office. This adds an additional layer of credibility and ensures compliance with state fundraising laws.
What your donation funds
Your generous vehicle donation, valued between $1,500 and $3,000, can fund essential medical equipment for pediatric hospitals, supporting children in urgent need of care. This investment in technology not only enhances patient outcomes but also fosters a supportive environment for families during challenging times. By contributing to CarLift Baltimore, you are directly influencing research programs and improving healthcare access for vulnerable populations in our community.
How we route proceeds
At CarLift Baltimore, we carefully vet our partner charities to ensure they align with our mission of enhancing medical research and patient advocacy. Before routing proceeds from your vehicle donation, we assess partner organizations based on their eligibility and commitment to transparency, including their IRS status and rating from reputable charity evaluators. This process allows us to ensure that your contributions make a tangible impact on the lives of those we serve.
