At Tennessee Auto Legacy, we believe in the power of community and corporate responsibility. Our workplace-giving car donation program allows employees to contribute their vehicles to charitable causes while also benefiting from their employer's matching donation initiatives. By participating, you can make a significant difference in our community and amplify your impact through potential bonuses and recognition.
Through our user-friendly CSR platform, the process is streamlined and efficient. Employees simply donate their vehicle, and our CSR team verifies the donation, ensuring eligibility for matching contributions or recognition rewards. Whether your employer focuses on environmental sustainability, veterans' support, or educational initiatives, your donation can align with these impactful causes.

×Impact multiplier
Additional to the tax deduction you receive when donating a vehicle, taking part in a corporate matching program can significantly increase your donation’s impact. For instance, if you donate a car valued at $1,000, and your company matches donations up to 100%, you could effectively double your contribution to $2,000 for your chosen charity. Moreover, many companies provide recognition programs that reward employees who contribute, adding further motivation to participate. The disposal of gas-guzzlers may also grant environmental credits, showing a commitment to sustainability while enhancing your employer's CSR initiatives.
