An organization may give a donated vehicle to someone,  use it for operations, or sell it at auction.  If you donate a vehicle, you will need to transfer the title of the to the charity. Also, remove license plates and registration documents before you donate the car.</p><h4>Other Property</h4><p>You may also give other types of items to charities:</p><ul><li>Art</li><li>Jewelry</li><li>Stocks</li><li>Real Estate</li><li>Patents</li></ul><p>The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230122164823/https://www.irs.gov/publications/p561#d0e888">value of these items</a> may need an expert appraisal.
