Participating in workplace-giving programs can empower employees to make a significant impact in their communities. By donating your vehicle to Twin City Wheels, you not only provide essential support to local initiatives, but you also engage with your company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts and enjoy recognition for your charitable contributions. Many organizations offer matching donations, paid volunteer time off (VTO), and other incentives to encourage employee philanthropy.
When you choose to donate your vehicle, the process is seamless and rewarding. Simply submit your donation through your employer's CSR platform. The CSR team will verify your donation, and depending on your company’s policies, you may receive recognition, bonus matching for targeted causes, and environmental credits for sustainable vehicle disposal.

Receive Recognition & Matching
After verification, you will be recognized for your contribution, and if eligible, your donation may be matched by your employer’s CSR program.

×Impact multiplier
Not only do you receive a tax deduction for your vehicle donation, but the impact multiplies significantly through your employer's CSR initiatives. For example, if your company matches donations at a 1:1 ratio, your $1,000 vehicle donation could result in a total of $2,000 being directed to Twin City Wheels. Additionally, participating in environmental programs may grant you credits for sustainable vehicle disposal, further enhancing your positive impact while allowing your company to showcase their commitment to social responsibility.
