When a donation is pledged, the Vehicle Donation Processing Center, Inc., takes the donor information over the telephone, handles all the documents, vehicle pick up, sale at auction and distribution of proceeds to The Crucible. The Vehicle Donation Processing Center guarantees payment of all expenses in administering the program for The Crucible. Every month, net proceeds are split evenly between the Vehicle Donation Processing Center, Inc. and The Crucible.
When you donate a vehicle to The Crucible you also benefit in the following ways:
• Qualify for your lawful IRS tax deduction
• Avoid confusing Department of Motor Vehicles paperwork or Smog hassles
• Get free vehicle pick-up whether your donated car is running or not (restrictions apply)
