Can I claim a donated vehicle to an individual who lost their job last year at the height of COVID? It's not to a charity, If so how?

Used vehicle. Took the time to improve vehicle for person receiving it by having a noticeable dent removed, having the interior carpet replaced and the interior ceiling liner replaced; new tires, new brakes, new rotors, new wiring, timing belt, and all fluid flush.  Ran great.  Gave it away to be charitable to someone in need.  Can I claim the vehicle somehow on my taxes?  I only saw ways to claim donations to a charity.

No, in order to claim a tax deduction, your donation must have been made to a qualified charitable organization.
