Car Donation in San Francisco - 3 Places to Donate Your Car

As part of our ongoing effort to link consumers who want to donate their car with organization who will benefit from and make good use of your donated vehicle, today, we're covering three great organizations for car donation in San Francisco.

1. The San Francisco SPCA - The San Francisco SPCA accepts donated vehicles to support their ongoing work for humane animal control. The San Francisco SPCA's mission is:

...to save and protect animals, to provide care and treatment, to advocate for their welfare and to enhance the human-animal bond.

If you love animals and support humane animal control, consider donating your car to the San Francisco SPCA.

2. KQED Public Radio - In my house, we're big fans of NPR, and KQED is one of the nation's flagship NPR programmers. They run some of the best, nationally-syndicated content from NPR as well as produce and distribute award winning shows like "Forum." Northern California Public Broadcasting (NCPB):

...provides consistently high quality public media that informs, educates, entertains and engages from a Northern California perspective.
NCPB delivers television, radio, internet and education network content that makes people think, feel and explore new ideas. Our programming and services reflect the value we place on human dignity, lifelong learning and the power of ideas, and on the importance of community service and civic participation.

3. San Francisco Make-a-Wish Foundation: The SF Make-a-Wish Foundation:

grants the wishes of children facing life-threatening medical conditions. When you make acar donation, proceeds from the sale of your vehicle donation through the Wheels For Wishes 501(c)(3) charity benefits your local Make-A-Wish®. Since 1980, Make-A-Wish as a whole has granted the wishes of more than 250,000 children around the world.

Your used car donations help these non-profits and foundations add to their endowment and continue to provide the community with valuable services that otherwise wouldn't be available!
