Scrap Cars Provide A Way To Donate Without Feeling The Pinch

When we think of charities we are more likely to conjure up images of little old

ladies ringing a few coppers through the till in fusty old second hand shops than we are cutting edge industry. It may, therefore, come as a surprise to many, that charitable organisations have to be as operationally innovative as the commercial sector in their bid to survive and prosper. This is why we are seeing a recent trend in charities extending their remit to work in tandem with social enterprises that deal with things such as the recycling of large items such as scrap cars.

The charities that perform best are those that combine creative solutions for both the benefactor and beneficiaries alike, and who continue to reinvent the wheel in terms of how they generate much needed cash. Therefore, linking up with agencies that can provide services that actually benefit contributors is a smart move.

The latest developments in the scrap market have created a niche for social enterprises such as Giveacar. With scrap metal prices escalating on a month by month basis a very distinct opportunity to provide a much needed service to potential donators, whilst at the same time generating funds for charitable investment, has emerged. Giveacar, offer to collect cars without charge from donators, thereby relieving them of logistical burden and costs of handling the removal of the vehicle themselves. The alternatives include paying the council in the region of 20.00 to dispose of the vehicle or to conduct a survey of all of the scrap-yards within a 15 mile radius to find which one will offer the best deal for collection. The latter can be a very time consuming operation, and for those that have very little free time as it is, the prospect of spending their Saturday morning trying to arrange the disposal of their car is a little too much to ask.

There are several benefits to opting to donate a car to Giveacar. A benefactor can actually feel a whole lot better about disposing of the vehicle than if they handled the process themselves. Not only does it take the headache out of figuring out how to dispose of an unwanted car, but it also allows donators to award a proportion of the proceeds from the sale or scrapping of the vehicle to a charity of their choice without affecting anyone's bank balance apart from the recipients. In a time when we are all feeling the pinch, and therefore a lot less eager to do our bit, ideas like these are essential in ensuring that charities can survive.

Giveacar is not a registered charity itself, but it is nevertheless a funding organisation that encourages the donation of cars to charity whilst at the same time ensuring that they are disposed of using the most environmentally sound methods. So, by choosing to donate a car to Giveacar donators are not only investing in their preferred charity, but they are also making an investment in the future.

But for many, the immediate gains are more compelling than the long term benefits. It's the removal of the burden of dealing with the processing of an unwanted vehicle that holds most of the appeal. And if this can be achieved with a minimum of inconvenience to the owner of the unwanted car, then the fact that they have donated to charity without parting with their hard earned cash, and have also made one small gesture towards improving the environment, then all well and good.
