At Buckeye Auto Gifts, we believe in the power of giving back to our community. By participating in the United Way Workplace Campaign, you can make a meaningful difference while enjoying the convenience of payroll deductions and one-time gift options. This program allows you to support local initiatives with your vehicle donations, and extend your impact through employer matching contributions.
Our partnership with United Way enables you to donate vehicles directly to your local chapter or to an agency they support. Each donation is acknowledged with an IRS 1098-C tax form, ensuring transparency in your charitable giving. Every dollar pledged, whether from your paycheck or a one-time gift, has the potential to be doubled through your employer's matching program, amplifying your impact.

×Impact multiplier
Your vehicle donation is more than just a gift—it's a catalyst for change. For every $1 donated through the United Way, an average of $3 is generated for local programs addressing education, financial stability, and health. If your employer matches your donation, this multiplier effect can grow even more significant. Imagine a single vehicle contributing thousands of dollars towards vital community services, providing food security, education initiatives, and health programs to those in need. Your support helps maintain the 211 hotline operation and critical basic-needs safety net services.
