Just list our name and our mailing address - Kidango, 4533 Mattos Drive, Fremont, California 94536. Kidango is an IRS qualified 501(c)(3) charity. Our Federal tax ID number is 94-2581686.

Vehicle Donation

Call toll-free 866-332-1778 to donate your vehicle. We accept cars, trucks, SUVs and other types of vehicles.

Our vehicle donation program is administered by V-DAC. The operator will ask you a few questions and get your contact information. Their staff determine if they can accept the donation, arrange to pick up your vehicle, do all the necessary DMV paper work and provide you with a receipt for tax purposes.

V-DAC has many years of experience processing vehicle donations. Their decision whether to accept a donation is final. We believe it is an efficient use of our resources to pay specialists to operate our vehicle donation program and not actually handle the donations ourselves.

Kidango receives the proceeds after costs are deducted. The amount received depends upon the amount the vehicle brings at auction. This may be more or less than the Kelly Blue Book value depending upon market conditions at the time of the auction. The average in 2003 was $191 per vehicle. In an average month about 50% of the cars are junkers that net nothing for Kidango.

Kidango uses the proceeds to purchase supplies and equipment and to train staff in order to enhance the quality of our services to young children and their families.
