Kidney Cars
The National Kidney Foundation's convenient
(and lifesaving) used vehicle donation program

Some supporters have been concerned about recent legislation affecting the Kidney Car program. We want to reassure you that Kidney Cars are alive and well.  Your donation is important!  The recent federal legislation requires your National Kidney Foundation affiliate to process more paper and to keep more records.  It does not diminish this important source of income for serving the thousands of people in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Vermont who are suffering from Kidney Disease.

Your Kidney Car donation will allow us to continue the kidney screenings, public education and assistance to patients and their families.

If it is time to say goodbye to your car, truck, boat, RV or even airplane, please consider donating your used vehicle to the National Kidney Foundation. With a simple telephone call, you can arrange to have your vehicle safely removed and the proceeds will go directly to support patient services, education and research in your community.

Program Benefits

  • Arranged pick-up and towing of your car by the National Transportation Network (fully licensed and insured).
  • The most efficiently managed program in the country - over 67 percent of our proceeds go to support local affiliates. The national average for other car donation programs is 40 percent.
  • A large part of your donation may be tax deductible. The applicable IRS definition can be found in IRS Publication 526.
  • A quick and easy way of disposing of vehicles that are no longer needed.
  • All types of vehicles accepted - autos, trucks, sport utility vehicles, motor homes, motorcycles, boats and airplanes.
  • Vehicles removed year-round
