CARS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping other nonprofits thrive through impactful fundraising services. Since our founding over 20 years ago, we've partnered with thousands of nonprofits nationwide to raise over $600 million through vehicle and real estate donations. CARS also supports On The Go, a transportation program that keeps older adults and people with disabilities connected to the San Diego community.
Founded in San Diego, CA in 2003 as a means to provide additional funding to the programs and services of Jewish Family Service, CARS soon began accepting vehicle donations to help other nonprofits raise extra revenue. What began as a company of just a few employees accepting around three vehicle donations per day, has grown into a well-respected leader in the car donation industry. CARS' success to date stems from our dedication to exceptional customer service, our ability to maximize each donation, and the extensive marketing content we create and distribute to our partners to help promote their programs.
