Participating in our United Way workplace-giving campaign is an impactful way to support Heart Wheels in Nevada. By donating through your employer, you not only contribute financially but also engage in a meaningful cause that supports vital community services. Whether through payroll deductions or one-time gifts, your generosity creates significant change in the lives of those we serve.
During the annual campaign typically held from September to November, employees can choose to deduct donations directly from their paychecks or make vehicle donations. Vehicle donations are particularly beneficial, as they provide an alternative means of support while allowing for potential tax deductions. United Way will issue a 1098-C to each donor for their records, ensuring transparency and compliance with IRS regulations.
