First, CHA provides charities with the most money from car donations. CHA owners personally oversee the sale of each donation vehicle. No car is allowed to sell for less than it is worth. CHA passes on a larger portion of net proceeds to charities. Second, CHA allows car donors the flexibility of choosing their favorite charity. Other donationcenters will only support charities they’ve chosen.
Along with every donation check, CHA provides charities with a written account of all expenses incurred in picking up, preparing, and liquidating the vehicle and a statement showing the profit received from the liquidation. Charities see that they are receiving 50% of netproceeds, as promised.
