The New Way to Donate Vehicles

   Maximize Your Donation

CarDana purchases your car for the Kelly Blue Book value minus fees. On average CarDana converts 70% of your car’s value into cash for your charity.

     Money to Charity in 3-5 Days

CarDana picks up and purchases cars and immediately sends funds to the charity. CarDana requires valid title and confirmation of the condition.

   Full Transparency

All fees associated with the donation are detailed individually on an itemized Donor Statement provided upon completion of the transaction.

     Extra Money Goes to Charity

CarDana later sells your car at auction sometimes for more or less than the Kelly Blue Book value. At the end of the year, any excess is donated to charities like the ones listed below.
