How to activate this channel
Donate Your Vehicle
Begin by assessing the vehicle you wish to donate. Ensure it fits within your company's CSR guidelines, focusing on causes like environmental sustainability or veteran support.
Submit Through CSR Platform
Access your company's CSR platform, such as Benevity or YourCause. Submit the vehicle donation request, providing necessary details about the vehicle and its condition.
CSR Team Verification
The CSR team reviews your submission for eligibility, ensuring it aligns with corporate guidelines. They may also confirm the vehicle’s worth and condition.
Receive Recognition & Matching
Upon successful verification, you will receive workplace recognition, and if applicable, your donation amount may be matched based on your employer's policies.
Tax Deduction Eligibility
After the donation is processed, you'll receive IRS Form 1098-C, which allows you to claim a tax deduction based on the value of the donated vehicle.
×Impact multiplier
Donating your vehicle through your corporate CSR program not only provides a tax deduction; it can also multiply your charitable impact significantly. For instance, if your vehicle sells for $2,000, and your employer offers a 1:1 match, that brings your total impact to $4,000. Some companies also recognize your effort through bonus matching for strategic causes, enhancing your contribution. Additionally, by participating in environmentally-focused initiatives, you contribute to cleaner communities and can even earn VTO hours for verified charity-partner volunteer work. Your involvement not only supports the local community but also strengthens your company's commitment to social responsibility.
