How To Secure An Auto Donation

Defined Tag: Auto Donation.

Many charities and non-profit organizations hold fund raisers that allows for the accumulation of funds that go for operations and research into a number of worthwhile causes. One of the more popular ways of fund raising is to have an auction. High priced items often provide both a great source of publicity, as well as encourage a number of bids. Automobiles are among the favorite items to auction off. Of course, before an auction can be held, there must be an auto donation. Here are some ideas on how to encourage local persons or dealers to donate an auto for your good cause.

First, it is always a good idea to be prepared to explain how any funds collected from the auction will be used. The more specific the cause, the easier it usually is to find a donor. For example, if a local business person understands that the money from the auction will be going to purchase school supplies for children that live at a local orphanage, the chances of finding a donor are much better than making some general statement about helping children in the community.

Next, many persons want to understand how the auction will be conducted before there is any commitment to make an auto donation. Often, the concerns have to do with making sure there is a clear determination of who may or may not bid, and what the minimum bid will be. It is not unusual for a donor to not only supply the car, but also bid at the auction as well. Understanding whether or not this is acceptable behavior may prove to be an incentive that prompts the individual to make the donation.

Getting a benefactor to provide an auto donation is often very easy, as long as there is a clear cut purpose to the fund raising activity, and it is understood that the fund raiser is being structured in such a way that the event will be fun, ethical, and productive. With a little thought on the front end, finding a donor will be a relatively easy task.
