Every donation counts, but did you know that your charitable giving can go even further? By donating your vehicle to BeachMoto Aid, you not only support our mission in Daytona Beach, but you can also leverage your employer's matching-gift program. Many large employers match employee contributions dollar-for-dollar up to annual caps, amplifying your generosity and making a more substantial impact in our community.
Here's how it works: After donating your vehicle, you will receive a IRS Form 1098-C, which serves as proof of your donation. You can then submit a matching-gift request through your employer's designated platform, ensuring that BeachMoto Aid benefits from your entire contribution, and sometimes even more, depending on your employer's specific matching policies.
How to activate this channel
Donate Your Vehicle
Choose to donate your car to BeachMoto Aid, ensuring you meet the IRS requirements, including a fair market value of at least $500. Upon completion, you will receive a Form 1098-C.
Obtain Your 1098-C
After your vehicle donation, you will receive the IRS Form 1098-C. This document serves as proof of your donation and is necessary for your employer's matching process.
Submit Matching-Gift Request
Log into your employer's matching-gift platform (like Benevity or YourCause) and submit a request for matching funds using your 1098-C receipt, BeachMoto Aid’s name, and its EIN.
Employer Verification
Your employer will verify your donation details. This process can take anywhere from 30 to 90 days, depending on company policies and the matching platform used.
Receive Matching Funds
Once the verification is complete, your employer will disburse the matching funds directly to BeachMoto Aid, effectively doubling or even tripling the impact of your donation.
×Impact multiplier
When you donate a vehicle valued at $1,500, your employer may match that donation, resulting in a total impact of $3,000 for BeachMoto Aid. This expansion of resources allows us to provide more essential services to those in need. In some cases, employers may even offer a 2:1 or 3:1 match, particularly for causes like education or healthcare, further enhancing your philanthropic impact. If your company offers higher match caps for executives or board members, your contribution could become even more significant, providing vital funding and resources to our community initiatives.
