Where Donations Go

At The Kiefer Foundation, donor support drives everything we do to end distracted driving and save lives. Funds are used to deliver powerful education and awareness campaigns, place Just Drive Simulators in schools and communities, and advocate for lifesaving hands-free legislation. We also invest in research and technology that drive innovation in road safety. Every contribution helps us engage parents, teens, law enforcement, and corporate partners in building a culture of distraction-free driving.
