Receive Recognition and Matching

×Impact multiplier

When you donate your vehicle, not only do you receive a potential tax deduction based on the sale price, but your employer may also provide matching contributions for strategic causes. For example, if your donated vehicle sells for $5,000, you could maximize your impact by doubling that through employer matching. Additionally, donating a gas-guzzler could earn you environmental credits, contributing to a more sustainable future. If your corporation offers VTO, you may also have the chance to volunteer with charities benefiting from your donation, creating a bright future for the community and receiving credit toward your work hours.
