Have you ever heard the Kars4Kids jingle come across your TV screen? Well folks in California won’t be hearing it anymore after a Court found it violated false advertising laws.
CBC and The Guardian have just reported on this.
But Kars4Kids isn’t just in the US. It’s also here in Canada. Kars4Kids Canada is associated with “Oorah Charitable Organization”. They accept car donations, offering free towing and tax-deductible receipts from Oorah.
Kars4Kids Canada, like its U.S. counterpart, has faced criticism over key issues including: transparency of the religious and geographic focus of its programs, the transfer of funds to Oorah Inc. charity in U.S., and misleading advertising. Most donors of cars in Canada are not aware that Kars4Kids funds educational, mentorship, and support programs exclusively to Orthodox Jewish youth both in the U.S. and in Israel. There is no indication that any funds are going towards serving kids in Canada.
The site, Charity Intelligence, has given Oorah Charitable Organization/Kars4Kids Canada, only a 1-star rating for Financial Transparency and an F for reporting results.
Just Peace Advocates and others asked the CRA to investigate Oorah/Kars4Kids charity status in late 2025.
Tell the CRA to investigate now! tr.ee/Kars4Kids
