Workplace giving is a powerful way to contribute to the community while enjoying the benefits of employer matching programs. By donating to Idaho Wheels Forward through the United Way workplace campaign, you ensure your contributions directly support local families in need of reliable transportation. Your support not only helps individuals but also strengthens the entire community.
Participating is easy! During the annual campaign, typically running from September to November, you can choose to make a payroll deduction or a one-time gift. Additionally, you can enhance your impact by donating a vehicle, which qualifies for a 1098-C to facilitate tax deductions. Your contributions can be attributed to your workplace campaign, maximizing your employer's matching gifts if available.
