There are many social service agencies that are run nationwide as well as on a state and local level. Some of the services are for profit and others are non-profit organizations. The majority of them get government support to provide services in addition to fund raising events and fees for services. Most agencies limit their fees so that they are accessible to everyone that needs the services. The general public thinks of food, rent money or cash grants when they hear about social services, but there are many other programs that are available to help people. There are services related to physical as well as mental health care.
Many of the large non-profit organizations have enough connections to keep their organizations going. Most are governed by a board of directors made up of business people, physicians, and lawyers as well as government officials. This multi-disciplinary type board usually lends itself to creative ways of funding raising or meeting a particular need for clients. One program in our area has a car donation tax deduction program. It is reported that the account on the board came up with the idea. Many times low income people cannot afford a car. Without transportation in rural areas where there is no public transportation not having a vehicle means not being able to work. The car donation tax deduction was created to have a program in which a person with more money can gift a vehicle to someone that needs it and in turn take the value of the car as a tax right off. The car owners do not have to worry about the receiver of the car knowing who they are because all the titles are transferred to the organizations name and then are transferred to the person receiving the vehicle.
| Quote of the Day |
The law before us, my lords, seems to be the effect of that practice of which it is intended likewise to be the cause, and to be dictated by the liquor of which it so effectually promotes the use; for surely it never before was conceived by any man entrusted with the administration of public affairs, to raise taxes by the destruction of the people.

In order to qualify to receive one of the car donation tax deduction vehicles the recipient needs to show that they are able to afford the cost of running a vehicle including insurance, maintenance, and license. The vehicles that are donated need to be in reasonable shape. Some of the programs take the donated cars and have different technical colleges with mechanic programs tune them up before they are given to someone. This helps the school, the students and the recipient of the vehicle. The car donation tax deduction program is a great service because the donor gets a tax right off, the recipient gets a vehicle that is reliable and the mechanics get a vehicle to work on as part of their education. If you do not need the money that you get from a trade-in, seriously consider donating your car to a charitable organization.
