Employee philanthropy is a vital aspect of corporate culture, and donating your vehicle is one powerful way to contribute. With Wheels to Worth, your unwanted car can help fuel transformative change in our Phoenix community. Through your company's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, you not only aid those in need but also enhance your workplace's commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
Donating your vehicle is seamless. Simply submit your vehicle for donation through your employer's CSR platform, and our Wheels to Worth team will handle the rest. Many employers offer matching donations, paid volunteer time off (VTO), and additional recognition, multiplying the impact of your generous act while elevating your standing within the company.
How to activate this channel
Step 1: Check Your Employer's CSR Program
Visit your company's CSR or Employee Engagement platform to see if they support vehicle donations through Wheels to Worth. Look for matching gift options or volunteer incentives that apply.
Step 2: Submit Your Vehicle
Complete the vehicle donation form on your CSR portal. Include necessary details about the vehicle and any supporting documents that may be required for processing.
Step 3: CSR Team Verification
Once submitted, your CSR team will review your donation request to ensure it meets all requirements, including IRS guidelines for vehicle donations and any specific employer policies.
Step 4: Matching and Recognition Processing
After verification, the CSR team will initiate any matching contributions and recognition rewards, enhancing your impact and potentially increasing your donation’s value.
Step 5: Receive Notification and Tax Deduction
You'll receive confirmation of your donation along with any matching contributions. The IRS will provide you with a 1098-C form for your tax records, allowing you to claim your tax deduction.
×Impact multiplier
Your vehicle donation goes beyond a simple tax deduction; it is an opportunity for significant community impact. Many companies offer matching contributions, which could double or even triple the amount donated. For example, if your car is valued at $5,000 and your employer matches it at 100%, the total impact rises to $10,000. Furthermore, donations can count toward VTO hours, facilitating direct volunteer work with Wheels to Worth, adding to your company’s community engagement efforts and your own professional recognition.
