About The First Car Project
Our Mission
The First Car Project (TFCP) is a nonprofit organization based in Kentucky that is dedicated to assisting young adults as they make the challenging leap from the foster care system to independent living. This transition can present numerous hurdles, with transportation being a significant barrier. TFCP seeks to tackle this issue head-on by offering these individuals a safe and dependable vehicle. Through a collaborative effort with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, TFCP ensures that recipients not only receive a vehicle but also the necessary training to upkeep and service it. By equipping these young adults with the tools and means for reliable transportation, TFCP is paving the way for a smoother journey towards self-sufficiency and success in their new chapter of life.
Our Hopes
With donations like yours, we hope to be able to:
- Provide two vehicles to two Kentucky foster youth as they transition into independent living.
- Provide insurance for 6 months.
- Assist with taxes and registration x 1 year

TFCP Hosted Inaugural Key Ceremony at Cars in the Commons 20
Thank you for celebrating with us!
The First Car Project is excited to announce that its inaugural key ceremony will take place on June 29, 2024, at 2pm during this year's Cars in the Commons event held in the North Village of Norton Commons. This special event will mark the moment when we hand over the keys to two deserving young adults who were selected from a pool of applicants across the state of Kentucky.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors and Passion Partners, we are thrilled to give away two carefully vetted cars during this ceremony. These vehicles have undergone thorough inspection to ensure they are safe and reliable for our recipients.
