At Legacy Wheels, we believe in the power of giving back to our community and the environment. Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program allows employees to donate vehicles, turning your unwanted car into a catalyst for change. Not only does this generous act support local charities, but it also opens the door for tax deductions, workplace recognition, and potential matching funds from your employer.
When you choose to donate your vehicle through our CSR platform, you’re not just cleaning out your garage; you’re actively participating in a broader mission to enhance our community. Your donation helps fund essential services and programs, and with many companies offering matching donations for vehicle gifts, your good deed can achieve even greater impact. Join us in making a difference!
How to activate this channel
Assess Your Vehicle

Submit Your Donation Online
Visit our dedicated CSR platform to complete your vehicle donation form. Provide necessary details like the vehicle’s make, model, and condition to initiate the process.
Verification by CSR Team
Our CSR team will review your submission, verify vehicle details, and ensure compliance with IRS guidelines for tax deductions. You will be notified once your donation is verified.
Receive Recognition and Match
Once verified, you’ll receive acknowledgment of your donation. Depending on your employer's CSR program, you may also qualify for a matching gift or a bonus as a reward for your contribution.
Impact Reporting
Receive a report detailing the impact of your donation, including how funds are allocated and the community services supported. This demonstrates the multiplier effect of your generous act.
×Impact multiplier
When you donate a vehicle through Legacy Wheels, the benefits extend far beyond a simple tax deduction. Many employers offer matching gifts that can double or even triple the impact of your donation. For instance, if your car donation is valued at $5,000, and your employer matches at 100%, that’s a total of $10,000 directed towards a charitable cause of your choice. In addition, donating a high-polluting vehicle can also align with environmental programs, receiving credits that amplify your community’s sustainability efforts. By participating in our CSR program, you're not just giving; you're engaging in a cycle of positive change that reverberates throughout North Carolina.
