How we vet charity partners
IRS 501(c)(3) ruling letter
Verify that the charity has a valid IRS 501(c)(3) ruling letter to ensure your donation is tax-deductible. This document confirms the organization's legal tax-exempt status and compliance.
Charity Navigator rating
Check the charity's rating on platforms like Charity Navigator, aiming for a 4-star rating. This reflects the organization’s financial health, accountability, and transparency.
Form 990 transparency
Review the charity's Form 990, which provides detailed information on financials and operations. Look for organizations with low overhead costs and high program spending ratios—70% or more on programs is preferred.
State registration status
Ensure the charity is registered with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s office. This guarantees compliance with state regulations for fundraising and operations, protecting your donation.
What your donation funds
Your vehicle donation can have a profound impact on the lives of veterans in Massachusetts. For example, a sale of a vehicle valued between $1,500 and $3,000 can fund several days of transitional housing for homeless veterans, provide critical rehabilitation sessions for PTSD, or assist with job placement services that enable veterans to gain stable employment. Each donation plays a crucial role in helping veterans reintegrate into society, access essential services, and find the support they need.
How we route proceeds
At Velocity Vehicle, we take the vetting of our partner organizations seriously. Before routing proceeds from your vehicle donation, we verify each partner's eligibility by checking their IRS status, financial transparency, and program effectiveness. This process ensures that your donation is directed to a reputable organization that aligns with your intent to support veterans in need.
