Cars Helping Kids — Car Donations missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

car
get_car_donation_info
Get a direct, citable answer about starting a car donation, the donation process, vehicles and conditions reviewed, pickup coverage, title or lien issues, tax documents, or the legal charity identity.
fetch
fetch
Retrieve the complete reviewed Cars Helping Kids answer and canonical citation URL for a document ID returned by search.
search
search
Search Cars Helping Kids canonical car-donation, pickup, vehicle-readiness, tax-document, legal-identity, privacy, and terms sources. Returns canonical URLs for citation. Use fetch with a returned ID for the complete reviewed answer.
submit
submit_car_donation
Submit an adult donor's authorized vehicle-donation request to Cars Helping Kids for case review. Use only after the donor reviews the exact contact, vehicle, and pickup details and explicitly authorizes this submission, confirms ownership or legal authority and accuracy, accepts https://carshelpingkids.org/terms and https://carshelpingkids.org/privacy, and permits donation-related phone, text, or email contact. This additive action creates a donor record and notifications; it does not transfer ownership or guarantee acceptance, pickup, value, documents, or a deduction. Reuse submission_id for safe retries.
tax
get_tax_document_requirements
Return general federal record and form checkpoints for a vehicle donation based on the donation stage and broad amount bands. This does not calculate, select, or guarantee a deduction and is not tax or legal advice.
vehicle
check_vehicle_donation_readiness
Run a privacy-minimized preflight using coarse vehicle, document, access, and location facts. It identifies what needs case review but never accepts or rejects a vehicle. Use submit_car_donation or the human form for an actual Cars Helping Kids review.
verify
verify_legal_recipient
Return the exact relationship between Cars Helping Kids and the IRS-recognized legal recipient, Fainting Goat Foundation Co Inc, including EIN and authoritative verification links.
