Donate Your Car Through Cruise Forward's Workplace Program in Mobile

Transform your vehicle into a force for good—donate through Cruise Forward's CSR program for unmatched employee recognition and potential bonus matching!

At Cruise Forward, we firmly believe in the power of giving. Our workplace-giving program encourages employees to contribute to our community by donating their vehicles. This initiative not only supports local charities but also amplifies your impact through matching donations and recognition programs. Participation is easy and rewarding, as you engage in a cause that reflects your values.

Through our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, employees can donate vehicles and see their generosity multiplied. By working closely with our CSR team, you can ensure your donation aligns with strategic corporate goals, including environmental sustainability, supporting veterans, or enhancing educational opportunities. Together, we can drive change, one vehicle at a time.

Receive Recognition

Once your donation is approved, you will receive recognition through our employee engagement programs. This may include shout-outs in company communications or dedicated events.

Matching Contribution

×Impact multiplier

When you donate a vehicle through our CSR program, the benefits extend far beyond the tax deduction you receive. For example, if you donate a car valued at $2,500, and your employer matches it with an additional $2,500, your total contribution becomes $5,000! Furthermore, if your donation supports a strategic cause like environmental sustainability, you can earn recognition points and possibly VTO hours for volunteering with a charity partner. This multiplier effect enhances your personal and community impact, creating a ripple of positive change that lasts.
