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.

Winter Holiday Retreat

Each winter, we host several weekend retreats during the winter months for hundreds of children and families in our programs. Held in our spacious country resort campus, there's lots of time for fun in the snow, companionship, awesome food and entertainment, friendship and inspiration. Every child returns home with warm memories to last the cold winter months.

Fun-Laden Summers

The Zone doesn't lack for a single ingredient in cooking up the most fun summer ever for the lucky kids who receive our generous discounts and camp scholarships. It's the summer a child dreams of and can only hope to have after the long academic school year. Kars4Kids is in the business of making children smile.

Questions about donating a car in SD

We’ve got answers to all your questions about car donation in SD, whether you want to know more about the process or anything related to your car’s title.

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.
