At Wheel Forward, we understand the value of corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs in fostering employee engagement and philanthropy. By donating your vehicle through your company’s CSR platform, you not only support a meaningful cause but also amplify your impact through potential matching gifts and recognition from your employer. This is a great opportunity to leverage your workplace's commitment to community and environmental sustainability.
Participating in this program is straightforward and rewarding. Once you decide to donate your vehicle, you'll submit your donation through your CSR platform, where your company's CSR team will verify and process your contribution. Some programs may even offer additional incentives like paid volunteer time off (VTO) or recognition points to further encourage your philanthropic efforts.

×Impact multiplier
Your vehicle donation not only provides you with a potential tax deduction but also activates additional benefits through your workplace. Many companies will match your donation, potentially doubling or even tripling its impact. For instance, if your vehicle is valued at $5,000, a matching gift could provide an additional $5,000 to Wheel Forward, resulting in a total of $10,000 in support. Furthermore, you may earn recognition in your workplace, a boost to your professional profile, and possibly VTO hours for verified volunteer work associated with our charity efforts.
