About this grant
Kars4Kids funds educational and youth development initiatives through nonprofits whose primary mission is serving children. Eligible organizations must be U.S.-based, IRS-recognized 501(c)(3)s with a secular, non-religious programmatic focus. The application requires a brief overview of the organization's mission and programs, plus submission of a 501(c)(3) determination letter. The review process takes 4–6 months when possible, but may extend up to one year. Approved grants are typically $5,000 and funds are mailed to the organization; grantees are also featured on Kars4Kids' website.
