If you're thinking of getting rid of your vehicle so you can buy your next used car, you have plenty of options that go beyond selling or trading in your current ride. A popular choice is to donate your car to charity, and you now have a new choice of charities. The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) recently announced it is partnering with Vehicles for Charity to accept donations in the form of cars, trucks, SUVs, boats, motorcycles and any other recreational vehicles you might have lying around.

"We are pleased to announce this new vehicle donation program. By donating your vehicle to the National Federation of the Blind, you are helping to improve the lives of blind people across the country," said Dr. Marc Maurer, president of the NFB. "Your donation will go toward our work to increase the number of blind children learning Braille, to advocate for blind and other disabled persons to receive a fair working wage, and to ensure a brighter future for all blind Americans."

This can be an especially appealing way to unload your vehicle if it is very old or not in great condition, as you won't likely get a lot of money for it by selling it or trading it in. By donating the car, you'll be helping out a good cause and saving some money when it comes time to file next year's taxes.

Whether you have a clunker that has been rusting in your garage or you're getting ready to purchase your next car, you can donate your current vehicle as a tax-deductible way to give back. When it comes time to pick out your next car, truck or SUV, you can head to New Jersey State Auto Auction. The dealer has a wide selection of makes and models that are all CARFAX certified, so you can feel good about getting behind the wheel of a reliable ride after doing something charitable with your former vehicle.
