As a way to bolster its budget and assist more people , local nonprofit Sally ’ s Fund is now accepting donated vehicles to be sold . The organization provides transportation services to older adults and disabled individuals in Laguna Beach . To facilitate contributions , Laguna-based CarDana — a charitable car donation organization — will pick up the vehicles , no matter what condition they ’ re in , and handle their sale . All proceeds will go to Sally ’ s Fund after a modest handling fee . “ Donors know there are costs associated with doing business , but they also want assurance that the charity they are supporting is the primary beneficiary , not some middleman ,” Anthony Glenn , founder and CEO of CarDana , said in a press release . “ We offer vehicle owners a transparent donation experience . Once the vehicle is sold at auction , the owner receives an itemized breakdown of the handling costs , the amount it sold for and the exact amount of the check that Sally ’ s Fund received , all of which is tax-deductible .” Glenn , who spent decades in the car donation business , recognized there were opportunities for improving the process . That led him to found CarDana — the second part of the name is pronounced “ donna ” and means a positive act or kind action in the Buddhist practice . To donate a car to Sally ’ s Fund , fill out a form on the CarDana website . ( Sally ’ s Fund : 949-499-4100 ; sallysfund . org ) ( CarDana : cardana . co ) — S . S .
