Car Talk Security and Easy Operation for Stations
  High Security Structure:
    Central Charity protects stations from liability of vehicle ownership: The Car Talk Vehicle Donation Program uses a central charity to receive vehicles to protect stations from the liability of owning vehicles. The central charity structure also makes it easier to conform to vehicle donation laws in multi-state listening areas.
    Donor identities are kept confidential until donation is complete: In conformance with our privacy policy, the Car Talk Vehicle Donation Program keeps donor identities confidential until a donation is complete. This also prevents stations from assuming liability by interfering in the donation. Stations receive all donor information, except Social Security numbers, once donations have cleared.
