Donate Your Car Before The End of The Year For a Tax Benefit

It’s not always easy to find a way to make a difference in the life of someone in need. However, when you donate a car to the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) you make a huge difference for a lot of people. 

Established over 3 decades ago, Kidney Cars is one of the first and most trusted car donation programs in the country. National Kidney Foundation meets the extensive standards certified by the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance. Through car donations, the NKF raises money for education, research, and life-saving medical support for individuals with kidney disease and those at risk of kidney disease. Your support helps us push kidney equity forward and work towards Kidney Transplants For All.
