Participating in workplace giving through vehicle donation is a fantastic way to contribute to meaningful causes while benefiting from your corporation’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program. At RideRebirth, we empower Seattle’s employees to turn their unused cars into life-changing resources for those in need. Your willingness to donate a vehicle not only supports our mission but can also amplify your philanthropic impact through workplace recognition and matching donations.
Your company’s CSR initiatives may include matching gifts, recognition programs, or paid volunteer time off (VTO). Engaging in this channel ensures that your generosity is acknowledged and rewarded, often providing you with additional contributions from your employer toward the causes you care about. Join us in making a substantial impact while also maximizing your vehicle donation through your company's strategic giving framework.
How to activate this channel
Identify Eligible Vehicle
Ensure that the vehicle you wish to donate meets the criteria set by RideRebirth, such as being operational or suitable for recycling.
Access CSR Platform
Log into your company’s CSR or employee engagement platform, where you will find options for charitable giving and vehicle donations.
Submit Donation Request
Complete the vehicle donation form provided on the CSR platform, giving necessary details like VIN, make, model, and condition of the car.
Verification Process
Your company’s CSR team will review and verify the donation request, ensuring compliance with their matching and recognition guidelines.
Receive Recognition and Matching
Upon approval, you may receive recognition from your employer, along with any applicable matching contributions to RideRebirth based on corporate policies.
×Impact multiplier
Your vehicle donation through a corporate CSR program not only provides a tax deduction based on the sale value of the car, but it also unlocks additional matching funds from your employer. For example, if your car sells for $1,000 and your employer matches 50%, that’s an extra $500 that goes directly to RideRebirth. Furthermore, some companies may recognize your donation with VTO hours or environmental credits for sustainable practices. This multiplier effect enhances both your charitable contribution and your company's commitment to community and sustainability.
