At First State Autos, we believe in the power of giving back to our community. Our workplace-giving program encourages employees to donate vehicles through a streamlined process that amplifies your philanthropic impact. By participating, you not only support local charities but also have the potential to earn matching contributions and recognition within our organization.
When you choose to donate a vehicle, the process is simple and rewarding. You can submit your vehicle through our dedicated CSR platform, where our CSR team will verify the donation. Depending on your employer’s alignment with specific causes, you may qualify for additional matching funds or recognition for your generous act. This is your chance to contribute to meaningful initiatives while also enhancing your engagement at work.

×Impact multiplier
Your vehicle donation not only may qualify for tax deductions based on IRS 1098-C guidelines, but it can also create significant additional impact through your employer's matching contributions. For example, if you donate a vehicle valued at $5,000, and your company matches donations 100%, your total contribution to the charity could be $10,000. Additionally, businesses focused on sustainability may offer environmental credits for disposing of gas-guzzlers, and you may also earn volunteer time off for engaging with partnered charities, multiplying your own impact in the community.
