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
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.
Conquering Hunger
Kids can‘t learn when they‘re hungry. Hunger makes the numbers and letters on the blackboard go blurry. That‘s why Kars4Kids teams up with food banks to ensure kids have a nutritionally dense diet. Education is the number one priority. Feeding kids and their families translates to academic success and a brighter future.
Afterschool Fun
Keeping children safe and stimulated in the hours after school is a challenge we meet with aplomb. At our after school program Chillzone, we offer activities that are both fun and educational, keeping kids off the streets and occupied with appropriate crafts, sports, and games. Kids are kept productive in a structured but enjoyable environment eliminating the worry from a parent's working day.
Questions about donating a car in OH
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.

Remove the license plates and registration from the car before it is towed. The plates don't need to be returned. You can either transfer the plates and registration to a newly purchased vehicle titled in the same name, or you can cancel them. You can cancel a current or expired Ohio vehicle registration by submitting a notarized Ohio BMV form number BMV4311. Don't forget to cancel your insurance coverage after the car's been picked up.
Find more details on the transfer process and answers to all your titles questions in our Ohio titles guide.
