If you have ever thought of doing something for charity and do not have the required cash to make a donation, you can consider other ways of doing so.
You can give something away in kind. Like donating your car to charity for instance.
In some countries, if you donate a car, you will be eligible for some form of tax relief. Of course ultimately, one should make the donation with the sincere intention of helping someone or some charity in need but well, okay, in the end it does not always happen that way.
