About Your Doughnations, Inc.
Your Doughnations, Inc. has been a Licensed Commercial Fundraiser since 1996. Raising money has been, primarily, through the donation of cars, trucks, boats, RV’s and, in a few cases, real estate. We have netted over 3.5 million dollars for the programs that we manage, including the Sacramento Children’s Home and the Sacramento SPCA. For the past 12 years our services were exclusive. We have now opened up to expanding operations and services to more charities and programs. We offer more than just the average Vehicle Donation programs you have probably heard of. We believe that every person that is kind enough to donate to a cause or assist in efforts to help others, deserves the all the individual and personal attention that is possible. After all, we are an extension of you when dealing with the donation. From the initial first phone call to the thank you letters when the car is sold, our experienced staff will handle it all. Our tow trucks bring every donation to our location, where its salability is determined. We do not believe in using an auction process. We even perform minor repairs to increase the value of the donated vehicle which benefits the person making the donation, as well as the charity receiving the donation. Every aspect is a hands on approach.
When the tax law changed in 2005 we had to change along with it. No longer could the donor use Kelley Blue Book values. Anything valued more than $500.00 must be reported to the IRS on a 1098C tax form. Even this form has changed each year since its introduction. Your Doughnation, Inc. keeps abreast of the current IRS guidelines and is always in compliance. The California DMV refers many potential donors to us, as does the Attorney Generals Office and other government agencies.
For the programs and charities that we manage, our administrative records are open to audit by your organization at any time as it would apply to your program. We send out monthly reports along with the monthly profit checks. We also provide you a list of every donor, what they donated and any special effort we provide to increase the value of the donation. This is often helpful if you choose to include the results into your monthly newsletters, solicitations, etc.
Our many years of advertising experience with programs and charities have given us the contacts, as well as the expertise, to place the most effective advertising available and targeted for your cause. It is different than most ad campaigns, as we are not selling anything, but rather, asking people to give on behalf of an effort to help others. The content of the targeted advertising is always mutually approved before it is implemented.
We are expanding, but the concept and vision we had in 1996 is still the way it is today. We partner with the programs and the charities to custom design a concept for the campaign. We represent the charity when dealing with the public and understand the importance of that role and responsibility.
