How we vet charity partners

GuideStar Platinum status

Organizations with GuideStar Platinum status are committed to full transparency, allowing donors to see how funds are used effectively. This recognition indicates a high level of accountability.

State humane-society accreditation

Check if an organization is state-accredited which ensures they meet specific standards for animal care and welfare, reflecting their commitment to ethical practices.

Adoption-rate transparency

Legitimate organizations often provide clear adoption rates, showcasing their success in finding homes for animals and improving their overall welfare.

Per-animal cost disclosure

Trustworthy charities disclose costs per animal cared for, giving donors insight into how their contributions are making an impact and ensuring funds are utilized appropriately.

What your donation funds

A vehicle sale generating between $1,500 to $3,000 can significantly support local animal welfare efforts. For instance, it could fund the spaying or neutering of up to 100 pets, thereby helping to control the population of homeless animals. Additionally, it can provide medical care for rescued wildlife or contribute to essential supplies for a no-kill shelter. Every vehicle sold translates into a lifeline for animals who desperately need care and support.

How we route proceeds

AutoLift verifies partner eligibility by reviewing documentation such as IRS 501(c)(3) status, checking for up-to-date state registrations, and ensuring compliance with charitable regulations. This diligence ensures that your donations are directed to reputable animal welfare organizations committed to their mission. By thoroughly vetting partners, we maximize the impact of your contribution on our local communities and their beloved animals.

New Mexico context

In New Mexico, animal welfare organizations are essential in addressing unique challenges such as high rates of stray animals and limited resources. The local demand for no-kill shelters and wildlife rehabilitation is growing, highlighting the importance of community support in these areas. Following state attorney general charity registration rules, we encourage donations to verified organizations that are actively working to improve animal welfare throughout the state.
