At RideForward in Philadelphia, we understand the profound effects of employee philanthropy through corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. By donating your vehicle, you can make a difference while participating in a community-driven initiative that aligns with your company’s CSR goals. Not only will you contribute to a worthy cause, but you may also benefit from matching donations or earned recognition through your employer's charitable programs.
Engaging in this vehicle donation process is easy. By leveraging your company’s existing CSR platform, you’ll initiate your donation, receive verification from your CSR team, and unlock additional support from your employer. This creates a win-win situation: you help others while enhancing your company's commitment to social impact and sustainability.

×Impact multiplier
Donating your vehicle through your employer's CSR program doesn’t just provide you with a tax deduction based on the vehicle's fair market value; it can also multiply your impact. For example, if your company matches donations up to $5,000, your single vehicle donation could effectively create an $8,000 impact when combined with corporate matching programs. Additionally, if your company supports environmental initiatives, you might benefit from an enhanced recognition program that generates credits toward volunteering hours or enhances your CSR profile, further amplifying your charitable engagement.
