How your car helps

Our charity programs are the essence of what we do. We are thankful to be able to give back to many local communities across North America and to bring educational opportunities to so many children, with the help of our sister charity Oorah. We're a registered nonprofit Jewish organization. Learn about what we do and see our charity programs here.

Kars4kids Mentor Program
The Kars4Kids Vision

Kars4Kids‘ vision is to give our children the ability to succeed in life. We focus on educational, mentorship and year-round programs for our children, their families and their communities, looking at the big picture of our children‘s development and the environment they grow up in. We rely on thousands of volunteers to help us change the world, one child at a time.

Create Lasting Memories

Our well-appointed summer camp facilities offer children the chance of a lifetime. Here in the country, children learn about their surroundings, build lasting friendships, and take turns helping out with the exotic animals in our camp menagerie. Your support helps us offer generous scholarships to help children create precious memories of an unforgettable summer camp experience.

Building Our Youth

Kids learn a great deal at home and at school, but in the hours in between we're there to teach children leadership and life skills and a whole lot more. From vocational training, to becoming a youth leader or serving the community, we teach kids how to be fuller, rounder human beings and members of society.

Still have questions?

The amount you can claim from the IRS as a tax deduction depends on the category applicable to you:
The IRS allows you to claim a tax deduction of:
a) The value of your vehicle up to $500. It is up to the donor to determine the fair market value.
b) The amount we sell your vehicle for - if it is more than $500.

Kars4kids is a classified 501(c)(3) charity organization. You can check with your tax advisor or accountant to determine the amount of your benefit. The deduction is of value only if the donor itemizes his or her deductions. For a more detailed overview the IRS publishes a Donors Guide to Car Donation.

We accept the following donations: car, snow plow, boat, bus, jet ski, truck, RV (motor home), commercial, airplane, van, trailer, motorcycle, ATV, tractor, and fleet donations. Sorry no kids.

We can usually pick up a vehicle without a title in Indiana . We just need the registered owner to sign some paperwork for us.

Indiana Title

The sample title document to the left of this paragraph has a blue arrow. Sign where the arrow appears using the name listed on the front page of your car title. The title document should be given to the tow truck driver at the time your car is collected.

  1. Remove plates
    Remove the plates from the car prior to it being towed. You do not need to return the vehicle's license plate or registration to the BMV. To ensure that the plates are not used illegally on another vehicle you should deface the plates.

  2. Excise Tax Refund
    You may be eligible for an excise tax refund. Visit any Indiana license branch.
