Joining the United Way workplace-giving campaign is a fantastic way to support Wheels to Worth while enhancing your community’s well-being.

Together, we can create lasting change right here in Phoenix.
Through convenient payroll deductions or one-time gifts, you can make a significant difference in our community. Plus, if your employer offers a matching program, your contributions could be doubled, amplifying your impact even further. Donating your vehicle directly to a qualified local United Way chapter or an agency they support can also yield tax deductions and recognition for your generosity.
How to activate this channel
Check Your Employer's Participation
First, confirm if your employer participates in the United Way workplace-giving campaign. Most companies offer this as part of their benefits, especially during the annual campaign from September to November.
Choose Your Donation Method
You can donate your vehicle or opt for payroll deductions or a one-time gift through your workplace campaign. Every contribution matters, so select the method that works best for you.
Complete the Vehicle Donation Process
If donating a vehicle, ensure it meets the IRS guidelines. The donation should be valued at over $500 to qualify for a tax deduction and you will receive a 1098-C form for your records.
Submit Your Donation
Submit your donation through the United Way platform specified by your employer. Ensure you attribute your contribution to the Wheels to Worth initiative for accurate chapter credit.
Leverage Employer Matching
If your employer has a matching gift program, check the eligibility criteria and submit any required documentation to maximize your contribution’s impact.
×Impact multiplier
Your participation in the United Way workplace-giving campaign creates a multiplier effect not just for Wheels to Worth, but for the entire community. For example, if you donate a vehicle valued at $5,000 and your employer matches that contribution, the total impact skyrockets to $10,000. These funds enhance education, financial stability, health, and basic needs services while also supporting operations like the 211 hotline. Each vehicle donation is vital to sustaining broader funding streams for local organizations, ensuring your community thrives.
