At MotorCity Wheels, we believe in the transformative power of giving. By donating your vehicle through your company's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, you can touch lives while benefitting from potential matching donations and employee recognition. Engaging in workplace philanthropy not only amplifies your charitable impact but also fosters a culture of giving and collaboration among colleagues.
Participating in this initiative is straightforward. Simply submit your vehicle donation through your company's CSR platform, where it will be validated by our dedicated team. Depending on your employer’s program, you may qualify for matching contributions, volunteer time off, or even earn points toward recognition rewards. Together, we can turn a simple car donation into a significant community investment.

4. CSR Team Review
The CSR team will review your submission, verifying the details of your vehicle and the parameters of your donation according to IRS regulations.
5. Receive Recognition & Matching
Once approved, you will be acknowledged for your contribution, and your employer may match the donation, depending on their policies and the targeted causes.
6. Enjoy Impact Rewards

×Impact multiplier
Your vehicle donation not only serves as a tax-deductible contribution but can also be multiplied through your company's matching gift policy. For every dollar you donate, your employer may match that amount, effectively doubling the impact of your generosity. Additionally, if your company has an environmental program aimed at reducing gas emissions, your contribution could count towards sustainability initiatives. Don't forget that engaging in verified volunteer work can also earn you VTO hours, offering another layer of impact, recognition, and rewards for your commitment to community service.
