Marcus T.
Everything was great!
By Marcus T., Salt Lake City  UT (I donated a 2000 Kia Sephia)

I had an excellent experience. The process was very simple and my car was picked up very quickly (I think the very next day, if I remember). Everything was great!

Bryan M.
They work with us at our timeframe
By Bryan M., Logan  UT (I donated a 1995 Honda Civic)

it was really easy and simple and they work with us and our timeframe. Thank you!

Curtis V.
I liked the online process and the friendly phone calls
By Curtis V., Ogden  UT (I donated a 1987 Nissan Truck)

I appreciate being able to make a donation to such a worthy cause. Response time with pick up and receipt were a little slow but I'm sure you are very busy. At least I hope so. I liked the online application process and the friendly phone calls. Keep . . .

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.

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.

Fun Fun Fun...

We are careful to reward the children‘s hard work in school and after-school programs with: fun, fun, fun! Whether its rock climbing, ATVing, horseback riding or just bonding together with friends by a bond fire, the children are assured to receive the outlets they need to ensure further development and growth.

Tutoring 1 on 1

So many children struggle in the average classroom setting, needing individualized attention outside of school, which many times is not supplemented by a child‘s parents for numerous reasons. That is why we have carefully designed a tutoring program giving each child the care they need to help bring out their true potential which will help jumpstart a cycle of success.

Questions about donating a car in UT

We’ve got answers to all your questions about car donation in UT, 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.
