5 Reasons to Donate Your Vehicle to the National Kidney Foundation of Utah

Every had a neighbor with one or two unused older cars, that don’t run; just sit sitting around rotting in the driveway, in a field next to the house, or worse yet- taking up space on street of *your neighborhood? Have you wondered what you might possibly say to persuade those neighbors that donating locally to towKars.org / National Kidney Foundation of Utah & Idaho might be the best solution to get them to part with those unsightly clunkers? Suggesting towKars.org and donating to Kidney Kars does more good than you realize!  Especially when you chose to donate locally to a  trusted, local charity like the National Kidney Foundation of Utah & Idaho. Every vehicle donation fuels life-saving programs for kidney patients in Utah and in Idaho. Here are five reasons why donating your car to NKF of Utah & Idaho is a win for everyone:

1. You’ll Financially Help the Most Needy Utah and Idaho Kidney Patients

When you donate through NKF of Utah & Idaho, your car doesn’t just disappear into a national pool of funds. Proceeds stay in Utah and Idaho, supporting real patients in your neighborhood; From financial assistance with medical costs, to transportation to and from dialysis appointments; Your donation lightens the load for individuals and families battling kidney disease in *your state.

2. Your Gift Stays Local & the NKF of Utah & Idaho Stays Accountable to *YOU

 Not all car donation programs are created equal. In fact most vehicle donation programs who advertise their programs online (with vague names like Kars4Kids) are sometimes purposefully misleading just to get you to give your car to them. Many of these copy cat or look alike organizations purposefully ask for your car donation (IN Utah or Idaho) but promptly send that money out of state and do not benefit the group you intended. They do this knowing they are taking vital life-blood funding away from Utah and Idaho. Thousands in Utah and Idaho (as many as 10,000) kidney patients who desperately need help to pay for kidney treatments, housing, and medicines in a country whose benefits and insurances pay less and less to help them stay alive.  In essence, people are stealing from Utah and Idaho community charitable resources and giving them to unknown people for unknown reasons out of state.  The NKF of Utah & Idaho makes sure your generosity benefits the very community you live in. Every donation strengthens patient programs, prevention efforts, and education right here at home.
