Did You Know That Gifts Are Tax Deductible?
Did you know - not only will you be helping a family become more self sufficient - but your car donation is also tax deductible.
Bridge Communities will give your donated car directly to a homeless family that will help them get back on the road to self sufficiency. By doing so, your donated car may be eligible for a full tax-deduction of the used-car value. Check with your tax advisor to learn how a car donation to Bridge Communities can benefit you.
Bridge Communities is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization under IRS code, and contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent of current laws.
One of the biggest challenges that client families in our Transitional Housing program struggle with is finding and retaining a good job that will support their families.
One of the most significant barriers to their finding and keeping employment is that of unreliable transportation. Many client families enter our Transitional Housing program with no car or cars that soon break down. Most of these cars are not worth the cost of repairing.
There is limited public transportation in DuPage County and owning a car is a real necessity for any family.
Client families use the donated cars to transport themselves to work and their children to school, child care and activities.
