How we vet charity partners
IRS 501(c)(3) Ruling Letter
Ensure the charity has a valid IRS 501(c)(3) ruling letter, confirming its tax-exempt status. This provides peace of mind that your donations are tax-deductible and that you are supporting a legitimate organization.
Charity Navigator Rating
Check the charity's rating on Charity Navigator. A good rating reflects transparency, accountability, and effective use of funds, which means your contributions are making a real difference.
Form 990 Transparency
Review the charity's Form 990 filings, which provide detailed information about its finances, programs, and governance. Transparency in these documents helps ensure responsible management of donor funds.
State Registration
Verify that the charity is registered with the North Dakota Secretary of State. This ensures that the charity meets state requirements for fundraising and is accountable for its operations.
What your donation funds
A vehicle sale generating between $1,500 and $3,000 can significantly bolster medical research initiatives. For instance, this funding could support clinical trials that explore new treatments for rare diseases or provide needed equipment to pediatric hospitals. Every dollar counts in advancing research and improving patient care, so your contribution can directly enhance the quality of life for patients and their families across North Dakota.
How we route proceeds
At Drive for Good, we carefully vet our partner organizations to ensure they meet rigorous eligibility criteria before routing vehicle sale proceeds. We assess their financial health, grant-making record, and impact on patient care. This ensures that your donations go to reputable organizations with a proven track record in medical research and patient advocacy.
North Dakota context
In North Dakota, the need for funding medical research and improving patient care is more critical than ever. Local healthcare providers often seek additional resources to support cancer research and rare disease initiatives. The state attorney general requires charities to register and adhere to fundraising regulations, ensuring accountability. This demand highlights the importance of supporting medical research charities that directly benefit North Dakotans.
