Participating in the United Way workplace-giving campaign is a powerful way to enhance your impact on local initiatives, especially for organizations like Tulsa Auto Bridge. By donating a vehicle, you help provide essential support for education, financial stability, health, and basic needs in our community. This is an opportunity to make a difference, and your employer may even match your gift to multiply your impact.
The donation process is straightforward, allowing you to contribute directly to Tulsa Auto Bridge or another agency supported by United Way. With options for payroll deduction or one-time gifts, you can easily integrate giving into your workplace benefits. Each vehicle donation qualifies for a 1098-C, making it a tax-deductible contribution that enhances your workplace giving campaign.

Your vehicle donation can significantly multiply support for community programs through United Way. For example, if your vehicle sells for $5,000, your contribution can fund educational resources, emergency financial assistance, or health initiatives. Plus, if your employer offers matching gifts, your $5,000 contribution could turn into $10,000 or more, multiplying the benefit to Tulsa Auto Bridge and the local community. Every donation counts and helps create a safety net for those in need.
