50% OF YOUR CAR'S SELLING PRICE COMES BACK TO ZAOM!

 As part of our commitment to raising funds for our association, we have successfully explored an avenue that seems promising. It is the car donation program through Charity Motors.   

Charity Motors Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that allows individuals to donate their vehicle for a tax deduction and choose the non profit charity they want the proceeds sent to. 

Charity Motors returns 50% of the car's selling price back to the charity of choice.  

ZAOM being a tax exempt public charity qualifies. One of our members donated their car and we received a check for $ 1,325.00 a few months later.   

Charity Motors handles all the necessary paperwork. All you need to provide them is the name of our association as follows:

Zoroastrian Association Of Michigan, the tax ID # 26-1203739 and the current address.  

You will receive the full fair-market value tax deduction for the donation of your car. This is a WIN WIN situation. Charity Motors will also arrange to pick up your vehicle for free.   

Please see their website below for more info or call 313 255 1000 / 313 933 400/ 888 908 2277 or visit www.charitymotors.org 

We thank you for your ongoing support.
