I have a hybrid that is going to cost too much (more than blue book value) to get fixed so I'm looking at donating the vehicle for a tax deduction.
In researching vehicle donations I've come across some national charity sites. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with any of these.
I added 'Wisconsin' to my initial search because I was looking for Rawhide Boys Ranch. Donated a vehicle to them many years ago. Since then I've done a couple of tours of the place and been totally impressed with their facilities and programs.
The first one I'm looking at is
