How to Donate Cars to the National Kidney Foundation
The National Kidney Foundation has been accepting car donations via its Kidney Cars program since 1983, with more than 100 cars received every day as of October 2010. If you have a car that you want to donate to the National Kidney Foundation, you can do it directly through their Kidney Cars program. Due to its tax exempt status, your car donation to the National Kidney Foundation is tax deductible.
