Joel S.
By Joel S., Detroit  MI

Kars 4 Kids made the donation process as easy as possible. They gave a fair amount for the donation.

Steve R.
By Steve R., Detroit  MI

The communication from Kars4Kids and other parties was timely and professional. Pam with Parts Galore and Ray from Busy Towing (local businesses) were friendly and courteous. Ray, especially, respected my property and my health since I had recently had do. . .

B3.
By B3., Detroit  MI

Poor communication and pushy like people in sales. They call your phone every other day. You would think a place where you are donating would be more polite and patient over the phone. Can't answer basic questions and seemed genuinely confused about their. . .

How your car donation 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.

Tutoring

Every child learns differently. Some children just need a little extra help and personal attention to absorb the material they are taught in the classroom. A tutoring session one-on-one a couple of times a week can be the difference between success and failure for these students.

Back to School Distributions

It's become an annual tradition at Kars4Kids to give away several thousand backpacks and other school supplies in the "back to school" season. Because we firmly believe that without adequate basic supplies, it's very hard for children to be successful students.

Questions about donating a car in MI

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.
Kars4Kids accepts donations of virtually all kinds of vehicles, including but not limited to: car, snow plow, boat, bus, jet ski, truck, airplane, van, trailer, motorcycle, ATV, tractor, commercial, fleet and RV (motor home) donations. Sorry, no kids.
