Charity Fraud: Kars4Kids
Charity Watch article on Kars4Kids: Read Here
The well-known Kars4Kids' jingle makes a simple request, "donate your car today…" and has weathered the wrath of comics.
According to the Minnesota attorney general, between 2012 and 2014, Kars4Kids raised $3 million in the state through car donations. But less than $12,000, less than one percent of what was raised in Minnesota, went to Minnesota kids.
"I think it's important when people donate to a charity, that they have information in terms of where their money is going," said Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson.
Where does the money go? Ninety percent of the monies donated go to a sister organization, Oorah, a New Jersey-based charity that operates Jewish youth summer camps exclusively in New York State.
"My main concern about Kars4Kids is that people don't know what's really happening with this charity," said Daniel Borochoff, the president of CharityWatch.
