How is CARS funded?

CARS depends on donations from people who care about consumer protection and auto safety to keep fighting corrupt, unscrupulous, greedy multi-national auto manufacturers and car dealers that care more about their profits than you and your family's safety. Wiith your help we can keep winning HUGE victories like prohibiting rental car companies from renting or selling hazardous recalled used vehicles without bothering to get the FREE repairs done first.

CARS is supported by contributions from individual consumers, grants from foundations, and contributions awarded by a court of law. CARS also receives important donations of time and expertise from volunteers, including victims of unsafe cars and their surviving family members.

CARS is fiercely independent, and has a strict policy against accepting contributions from the auto industry or other corporate interests. The only exception: if the contributions are awarded by a court of law, as part of the settlement of a righteous case brought on behalf of wronged consumers.

NO. CARS does not receive any government funds.

Yes. CARS is a tax-exempt non-profit public benefit organization, incorporated under IRS Section 501(c)(4).

Contributions from everyone who supports our mission are very welcome. Each and every donation is truly appreciated and helps make a difference. Please note: due to CARS.' advocacy work on behalf of consumers, contributions to CARS are not tax-deductible.

There is another important way to support CARS' work, and that is to sign CARS' petitions, write comments, and spread the word to your family, friends, and colleagues. So far, over 589,000 people have signed CARS' petitions, and many of you have also written comments.

Thanks to public support for our work, CARS has succeeded in winning important victories to protect the public, including our military heroes and their families, from unsafe vehicles and illegal scams. Together, we have a powerful voice that even large multi-national corporations and corrupt politicians cannot ignore. THANK YOU!!
