How we vet charity partners
IRS 501(c)(3) ruling letter
Ensure the charity is registered as a 501(c)(3) organization, indicating it is tax-exempt and eligible to receive tax-deductible donations. This documentation is crucial to validate its nonprofit status.
Charity Navigator rating
Check for a rating on Charity Navigator, which assesses nonprofits based on their financial health and accountability. A high rating reflects a commitment to effective use of donor funds.
Form 990 transparency
Review the charity's Form 990, a public financial document that outlines its revenue, expenses, and operational transparency. This form provides insights into financial management and efficiency.
State registration
Verify that the charity is registered with the Washington Secretary of State. This ensures it complies with state laws and regulations on fundraising and charitable contributions.
What your donation funds
Your contribution of $1,500 to $3,000 can provide essential funding for vital research initiatives, such as a grant for a clinical trial or purchase of critical pediatric equipment. This could lead to breakthroughs in treatment options for children suffering from severe illnesses or enhance support for patients participating in trials who lack financial resources. Your donation not only aids in important medical research but also directly impacts the lives of those navigating health challenges, ensuring they receive the care and support they need.
How we route proceeds
At RideRebirth, we take the integrity of our partnerships seriously. Before routing proceeds from vehicle donations, we thoroughly vet our partner organizations for eligibility. This includes verifying their nonprofit status, reviewing their past funding records, and ensuring they adhere to best practices in financial management and donor transparency. This diligence ensures that your contributions are directed to deserving initiatives that truly benefit patient care and medical research.
