When people think of The American Red Cross, they are often reminded of little men dressed Santa Claus costumes and ringing bells outside Wal-Mart. These holiday Santas are a regular part of The American Red Cross Christmas fundraising process and raise a lot of money during the holidays. However do you think that the small amount raised in this way is enough to keep a large charity like this working? The answer is no. This is just a drop in the ocean compared to what they need to keep doing their good work throughout the year.

Major charities require large amounts of money to continue their programs and provide services and assistance to those in need and rely solely on public contiributions . So what do they do? How do they source such large amounts of money? A huge amount is raised from large contributions by large coorperations. Smaller business often make annual contributions too, however the charities still depend largely on donations from individuals, either in cash or by some other means. But now that we are facing this financial crisis, people are not as willing to hand out large amounts of money. Consequently, charities are placing more emphasis on what they call ‘Alternative Donations’.

Because of the present condition of the economy , these alternative donations are increasingly important in bringing in money and supporting major charities. To give you an idea of how to make an alternative donation, you can donate your car to charity. If this program were to be successful then charities would have many vehicle donations in the coming months, each of which will raise valuable funds and allow them to continue their good work. If you donate your car you will definitely ensure that the charity is able to continue its work. Of course, donating a car is only one of many ways to support a charity. Charities now accept all kinds of donations. Incredibly, some people are now even donating motorbikes to charities as well.

Auto donations are becoming more and more popular on the sides of both the charities and the public. The advantage of donating this way is that you can claim a tax break on the value of the car. The value of the car will be determined by the money raised by its sale. This is a great way to support a charity and recieve a financial benefit in return.
