When you donate a car for kids the money goes to whichever charity you choose. That means your support can stay local or go global – it’s entirely up to you. Plus, you are benefiting in two big ways. First, there’s the satisfaction of knowing you’re making a difference in the life of a child. And secondly, you receive a car donation tax deduction for the full sales value of the car, which we maximize through our unique process. We do a 16-point inspection to determine if any repairs or upgrades that we make to your vehicle donation for kids will result in a higher sale price. We have the means to make your gift have a greater impact when you donate to cancer research for kids or to prevent child abuse.
