The Vision
The Vision
The 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.
Structured Safe Fun
Structured Safe Fun
Kids should be safe in and out of school with mentors by their sides, and involved in activities that are both productive and fun. The most important thing one can do for a child is put a smile on his face and that‘s something we work hard at accomplishing with our Chill Zone Program, whether skating, boating, zip-lining, golfing, or doing crafts.

Common Questions About Donating a Car
Common Questions About Donating a Car
Can I donate any type of car?
Most charities accept cars, trucks, vans, RVs, boats, motorcycles, and even some airplanes. However, it's best to check with the specific charity to see what types of vehicles they accept.
Does my car have to be in working condition to donate it?
No, many charities accept vehicles in any condition, whether they're running or not. However, charities may get more value from cars that are in working condition.
Do I need to have the title to donate my car?
Yes, you generally need to have the title to the vehicle in order to donate it. Some states may have additional requirements, so it's a good idea to check with your local DMV or the charity you're donating to.
Will I get a tax deduction for donating my car?
Yes, if you itemize your deductions on your federal tax return, you may be able to deduct the fair market value of the car. However, tax laws change frequently, so it's best to consult with a tax professional for specific advice.
How is the value of my donated car determined?
The IRS allows you to deduct the fair market value of your car, which is generally the amount a willing buyer would pay a willing seller when neither is under any compulsion to buy or sell and both have reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts. You may use valuation guides like Kelley Blue Book or consult with a qualified appraiser for assistance.
What happens to the car after I donate it?
After you donate your car, it may be sold at auction, given to a needy individual, or used for charitable purposes such as transportation for the organization. Some charities also have programs to repair and resell donated vehicles.
Are there any costs associated with donating my car?
Some charities may charge a towing fee or administrative fee to cover the costs of processing the donation. However, many charities offer free towing services for donated vehicles.
Is there a limit to how much I can deduct for my notification?
The IRS imposes certain limits on the amount you can deduct for donated vehicles, depending on how the charity uses your donation. It's best to consult with a tax professional for specific advice on your situation.
How do I transfer ownership of my car to the charity?
You will need to sign the title of the car over to the charity, just like you would if you were selling the car to someone else. The charity may have specific instructions on how to do this, so it's important to follow their guidance.
What documentation will I receive after donating my car?
You should receive a receipt or acknowledgment letter from the charity confirming your donation. This documentation is important for claiming your tax deduction.
Remember, it's always a good idea to research and choose a reputable charity when donating your car.
