Workplace giving has become a powerful way for employees to make a difference in their communities, and donating a vehicle to RideRescue can amplify that impact. As a part of your corporate social responsibility (CSR) program, you can support RideRescue's mission to aid those in need while gaining recognition at work. Your vehicle donation not only helps local families but can also unlock matching contributions from your employer, aligning your philanthropy with company values.
Participating is simple. Start by reviewing your company’s CSR platform. Once you’ve confirmed that vehicle donations are included, you can submit your vehicle through the system. Following verification by your CSR team, you’ll be able to receive recognition for your generosity and, potentially, bonus matching based on your company's strategic initiatives, such as environmental sustainability or support for veterans.

×Impact multiplier
Donating your vehicle to RideRescue offers more than just a tax deduction. Depending on your company’s matching program, your donation could be multiplied by corporate matching gifts, potentially doubling or even tripling your impact. For example, if your vehicle is valued at $5,000 and your employer matches contributions at 100%, that equates to a total of $10,000 benefiting those in need. Additionally, your participation in environmentally focused programs can yield credits for sustainable disposal, helping the planet and enhancing your company’s ESG initiatives. Furthermore, verified volunteer work may earn you paid volunteer time off (VTO) hours, enriching your engagement with the cause.
