Then you can refine your search by clicking on each of the charity links, which will detail a page of information and direct web-links to assist you in narrowing down your choices.

 

First, you must be a Registered User to access the charity comparison feature. Once logged in, you have several ways to compare charities. You can compare charities within any listing of search results by simply clicking on the charity’s name and then accessing that charity’s detail page. Which will assist you in making a decision that you feel comfortable in knowing what your charity is about, and what they do to make a difference in your community.

 

Benefits for users are separated into two categories: Those benefits for Organizations/Businesses and benefits for The General Public.

-Increase your exposure to the general public

-Share your story on past events hosted by your organization/business

-Increase your income with donations made easy thru our site. (if appl)

-Know what's going on in your local community

-Share your adoption/iwannahelp.net story

-Post items on our donation forum that you don’t need anymore, but perhaps someone else may need.

 

We offer an easy way to not only share your research with others, but to also request that your friends and family make a donation to one of your favorite charities in your honor for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and other special occasions.

 

First, you must be a Registered User to access the ‘iwannahelp.net story’ page. Once logged in, you can begin to create personalized lists of charities by clicking on ‘Add to My Charities’ on any charity’s ratings page or in the search results. By default, the charity will be assigned to a general group.

 

You can then create customized groups of charities – such as based on a charity’s mission or for special occasions - by clicking on ‘Edit My Groups’ in the upper left hand corner of the ‘My Charities’ page. Once you have created customized groups, you have the ability to directly add a charity into a specific group from its ratings page or from the search results. You can also add or remove a charity from a group directly on the main ‘My Charities’ page.

 

Finally, to share one of your groups with friends and family, go to the ‘My Charities’ portion of the site and click on the ‘Share This List’ link next to the group you wish to share. A new window will pop up asking you to enter the recipients’ email addresses along with a personalized message..

 

 

Become a registered user of the site, if you aren't already, and select "Suggest a Non-profit" in the "Contact Us" page. Log in or Register Now!

Many charities are equally grateful to receive gifts of cash as they are donated goods. Since the needs of an individual charity change frequently, we have linked a button to access the charity of your choice’s preferences in what they are unable to provide you with a list of charities and the types of goods they'll accept. We recommend that you use our site as a tool to find a well-run charity in your region. Then, contact that charity directly, using the information we provide, to determine if the organization is interested in receiving your goods.

 

 

Read this article for specific information about donating your car to charity and visit our Tips and Resources to learn if your donated goods qualify as tax-deductible.

 

We suggest that you take the time to find a few non-profits that match your interests and make a commitment to support those charities over time. By concentrating your giving among on what tugs at your heartstrings, you will feel your efforts contributed to causes you believe in.

 

Once you take the time to identify your favorite charities, iwannahelp.net’s free tools for registered users can help you keep track of them. If you haven't already done so, register now.

 

Not quite, but close. Charitable groups often sponsor events in order to raise money. You can deduct the cost of tickets to these events, but the amount shown on the ticket you buy isn't necessarily the amount you can deduct. General rule of thumb: If the 'regular price' is not indicated on the ticket or anywhere else, just note the normal price for similar events or activities in your area and reduce your donation by that amount.

 

If you donate your car to a non-profit organization with tax-exempt status, then you can take a deduction. But valuing your deduction can be a bit sticky. We suggest you discuss this with your accountant and the non-profit whom your contemplating to support. 

 

When you give used clothes or other items to charity, we encourage you to inquire with the receiving non-profit for receipts of your donated goods.

 

A detailed explanation of iWannaHelp.net’s start in 2008 is available in the ‘Our Story’ section of this website.
