Giving back to the community can be as simple as activating your workplace’s payroll-deduction giving programs. Heart Wheels invites you to enhance your charitable contributions by donating your vehicle while participating in regular payroll-deduction charitable giving. Many employers provide options for employees to direct a percentage of their paycheck to donor-advised funds or specific nonprofits like Heart Wheels.
By designating a consistent contribution from your paycheck, you can make a meaningful impact on our mission to assist those in need. In addition, a one-time vehicle donation provides an excellent opportunity to supplement your ongoing giving efforts. This combined approach will not only maximize your charitable support but also offer clear benefits through comprehensive reporting for tax and matching purposes.
How to activate this channel
Check Eligibility
Verify that your employer participates in a payroll-deduction charitable giving program and supports donations to Heart Wheels. Consult your HR department or employee handbook.
Designate Contribution Amount
Choose a percentage or dollar amount to donate from each paycheck. This amount will be automatically deducted and directed toward your designated fund or Heart Wheels.
Make a Vehicle Donation
Initiate a one-time vehicle donation through Heart Wheels. This is a separate transaction and you will receive IRS Form 1098-C for tax deduction purposes.
Combine Donations
The ongoing payroll deductions and vehicle donation will work together, providing a progressive approach to your charitable giving strategy, maximizing your impact.
Receive Annual Giving Report
At the end of the year, receive a comprehensive annual giving report, detailing your total contributions, which can facilitate employer matching initiatives.
×Impact multiplier
When you utilize payroll-deduction giving, your contributions can significantly impact the communities served by Heart Wheels. Should your employer allow pretax deductions through a Section 125 cafeteria plan, your charitable contributions will reduce your taxable income, amplifying your overall giving potential. Even if your donations are made post-tax, the combination of consistent payroll giving and the vehicle donation increases the likelihood of itemizing deductions on your tax return, enhancing your tax benefits and charitable impact.
