It's easy to donate a car to charity if all you want to do is get rid of it. Simply call a charity that accepts old vehicles, and it will tow your heap away. If you want to maximize the benefits for both the charity and yourself, however, it's more complicated. Until 2005, it was easy for taxpayers to deduct the entire "fair market value" of a donated vehicle from their taxable income, reducing the taxes they'd have to pay to the Internal Revenue Service. (The IRS defines fair market value as "the price a willing buyer would pay and a willing seller would accept for the vehicle, when neither party is compelled to buy or sell and both parties have reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.") Allowing taxpayers to deduct the full fair market value for all those donated vehicles cost the IRS a lot of dollars, however, so the agency tightened the rules. Today, you can only deduct a vehicle's fair market value under very specific conditions. We...

The largest car donation charity in the United States is accused of using the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s name to solicit donations, while sending just 20 percent of its revenue to local Make-A-Wish chapters. Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson says the other 80 percent of the money was spent on administrative costs and payments to for-profit companies owned by the founders of the Car Donation Foundation. Swanson issued a compliance report Wednesday that questions the payments and solicitation tactics of the charity. Swanson said advertisements and marketing materials were misleading because they failed to disclose that the Car Donation Foundation, rather than Make-A-Wish, was the recipient of the donated vehicles. Solicitations instead featured the “Wheels for Wishes” name alongside the Make-A-Wish name. It’s illegal in Minnesota for charitable organizations to use names or symbols that are closely related to another charity in situations that could confuse the public about the...

The close ties between Bigley and Heiligman’s charity and their two for-profit companies that provide paid services to Car Donation Foundation raise serious questions about the stewardship and governance of the charity, according to the OAG Report. As directors and officers of CDF, Bigley and Heiligman have a fiduciary duty to be loyal to and act in the best interests of the charity, but instead, they appear to have allowed blatant conflicts of interest to exist in CDF’s transactions with Metro Metals and National Fundraising Management. Given these conflicts of interest, it’s not surprising that both CDF’s and Make-A-Wish’s respective independent auditors also raised concerns regarding the governance of CDF. The OAG Report notes that these outside auditors identified problems and voiced concerns related to the overlap in the management of CDF, MM, and NFM, including questioning the invoicing and payment practices between CDF and NFM, for which they found cases of millions of dollars...
