Why pick a real 501(c)(3) for your vehicle donation

Not every site that calls itself a "car donation charity" is one. Many are for-profit intermediaries that keep 60–80% of the sale price and pass the rest to a charity partner. We're the opposite: Cars Helping Kids is operated directly by Fainting Goat Foundation, a registered Georgia 501(c)(3). The legal entity that picks up your car is the same entity that runs the programs.

Because we cut out the middleman, more of your vehicle's value actually reaches kids. Net proceeds — sale price minus the actual cost of towing and titling — go straight into program spending. Our overhead is the foundation's overhead, not a 30% "administrative fee" charged by a third-party processor.

What "trusted" looks like, in practice

You get the same paperwork you'd get from any major national charity: an IRS Form 1098-C after sale, a real EIN for your tax preparer, and a written record of the donation event. You can verify our 501(c)(3) status independently on the IRS Tax-Exempt Organization Search any time.

What you also get, that big charity-donation portals don't offer: a direct line to a small team that knows your case. We answer the phone. We text you back. If something is weird about your vehicle — odd title situation, lien, gifted car, estate sale — we figure it out with you, not around you.
