At Island Wheels, we believe in the power of community and the impact that workplace giving can have on our friends and neighbors in Hawaii. By participating in the United Way workplace campaign, you can contribute to essential programs that help improve education, ensure financial stability, and provide healthcare access. Your donation, whether through payroll deduction or a one-time contribution, creates a significant difference.
With options for direct vehicle donations to our local United Way chapter or a partner agency, you can easily support Island Wheels’ mission. Each vehicle donated qualifies for a 1098-C tax receipt, allowing you to receive credit for your contribution under your workplace campaign. If your employer participates in matching gift programs, your impact can be multiplied even further!

Confirm if your employer supports the United Way workplace-giving campaign and find out about matching gift opportunities available to maximize your donation.
2. Choose Your Donation Type
Decide whether you want to make a recurring payroll deduction or a one-time vehicle donation. Both options will benefit Island Wheels and local communities.
3. Donate Your Vehicle
If donating a vehicle, arrange for it to be picked up or dropped off at a qualifying United Way chapter or agency to expedite the process.
4. Receive Your Tax Documentation
After your donation, you will receive IRS Form 1098-C, which you can use for tax purposes and ensure your contribution is credited under your workplace campaign.
5. Recognize Your Impact
Your contribution will be recognized at both your workplace and the local United Way chapter, highlighting your commitment to making a difference in Hawaii.
×Impact multiplier
Your participation in the United Way workplace campaign amplifies the impact of your donations significantly. For example, a vehicle donation valued at $5,000, when matched by your employer, could total a $10,000 contribution to our community programs. These funds support vital services, including education initiatives, health programs, and crisis assistance through the 211 hotline. The multiplier effect not only helps Island Wheels but elevates the overall wellbeing of families across Hawaii, ensuring sustainable growth and aid where it's needed most.
