Why donate through CDS?
-
Due to innovative sales techniques not used by most of our competitors, CDS' average selling price for a vehicle is significantly higher than the industry average. This means your tax writeoff could be greater if you donate to one of our charities.
-
We do not offer cash or other incentives for donated vehicles because those may reduce the amount of money the charity receives, and will reduce the amount you may claim as a tax deduction, and, in fact, may result in you having to pay income tax on those incentives.
-
Because we are a small, local firm, we have the ability to individually select the best method for selling your donated vehicle, whether it be retail, wholesale, by consignment or auction. It only helps us to try our very best to make our donors happy because our donors are our best advertising. And our ultimate goal, to help our charities as much as possible, is always our highest priority.
-
CDS is a licensed Commercial Fundraiser as recognized by the California State Attorney General's Registry of Charitable Trusts. We have been helping local charities for over fifteen years. Please see our Charities page for a current list of our charities, including descriptions and links.
