Here’s what our Washington DC donors had to say about how donating went for them.
P.S. we didn’t make these up! They're all real donors, with real experiences.
I had a wonderful experience with Kars4Kids, no complaints at all.
It was the easiest car donation of the three I've done. The pick-up was quick; the driver arrived exactly on schedule and the paperwork was minimal and easy to fill out. Information over the phone was clear and handled by a person, not a dial tone. . .
Easy to start process and follow up by all parties was professional
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.
The Kars4kids Vision
Our vision at Kars4Kids is to enable our children to succeed throughout life. We achieve this goal through a gamut of educational, mentorship and year-round programs for our children and their families and communities. With a network of thousands of volunteers, we strive to change the world, one child at a time.
Charity Coat Distribution
The thought of parents not being able to bundle up their little ones in the frigid months because of the financial challenge is chilling. We do all we can by annually organizing winter coat giveaways. In recent years we have partnered up with a range of community leaders such as Senator Corey Booker and Tunnel 2 Towers Foundation ensuring outreach to those communities that are most in need.
After School Programs
We run an impressive amount of nationwide after-school programs. Each program has dedicated volunteers and mentors, awesome activities and lots of great kids. As many programs as we have we can't cover all locations. Therefore, Kars 4 Kids encourages others to start their own programs. This comprehensive start up guide is for people interested in helping kids in their own communities.
Questions about donating a car in Washington DC
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.
