Our Mission

At Cars and Coffee Foundation, our mission is to harness the passion of the automotive community to drive meaningful support for children in need. We believe the bond between automotive enthusiasts is a powerful tool for philanthropy, allowing us to empower children & families and foster joy through donations from our specialty license plate program.

Impact & Purpose

As a registered 501(c)(3) based in St. Louis, Missouri, we provide strategic grants to other local charities that align with our vision. We are proud to announce that the net proceeds from 2025 were dedicated to Children’s Mercy Kansas City and St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

Drive the Cause

Support our mission and elevate your vehicle’s aesthetic. Through our state-sponsored specialty license plate program, all Missourians can sport a sophisticated, street-legal black license plate on their vehicles —a symbol of your commitment to our community and your love of cars. Your donation of $35 per year to sport our black plates makes this all possible.
