×Impact multiplier
By choosing to donate through payroll deduction, you can make contributions with pretax dollars, thereby increasing your overall tax savings. Many companies offer Section 125 cafeteria plans, allowing for pretax deductions on charitable contributions. For example, if you donate $100 monthly, that equates to a $1,200 yearly contribution, significantly impacting Wheels for Wellness. Furthermore, adding your vehicle donation can increase itemization potential on your tax return. The combination of payroll giving and a vehicle donation can lead to maximum tax benefits while significantly supporting your local community.
