Reputable and Un-reputable Practices
Vehicle donations in America are operated in a wide variety of plans; from highly-organized and professional-grade not-for-profit, national or local charities to scrap yards, haulers, tow-truck companies and salvagers who establish programs the may support a charity. According to Charity Navigator, the guidance of the rating agencies concerning car donation programs, where the charity receives a flat fee for the use of their name by a third party, versus program management by a third party,there are some questionable companies who contract to use a nonprofit’s agencies name and logo to raise funds and then just give them a flat fee unrelated to income or performance. This is frowned upon by rating agencies and the government. However, a percentage return program is viewed positively if the nonprofit receives more than 50% of the generated income. Programs that engage a third party, but with a "cost maximum cap" involved, such as with national charities like the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, performance in this area is exemplary, with 70-80% on average being returned to the nonprofit.

“This mother needs happy, reputable children, and that one needs unhappy ones: otherwise she cannot show her kindness as a mother.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Such is the art of writing as Dreiser understands it and practices it—an endless piling up of minutiae, an almost ferocious tracking down of ions, electrons and molecules, an unshakable determination to tell it all. One is amazed by the mole-like diligence of the man, and no less by his exasperating disregard for the ease of his readers.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
