Supporting Wheels for Wishes through your employer's charitable programs can transform lives in Wyoming. By participating in payroll-deduction giving, you can contribute a portion of your paycheck to support our mission of providing wishes for children with critical illnesses. This simple approach makes it easy to contribute consistently while also allowing for a one-time vehicle donation to further enhance your support.
In addition to your regular contributions, a vehicle donation allows you to make a significant impact without immediate financial strain. The combination of ongoing payroll deductions and a vehicle donation not only demonstrates your commitment to our cause but also simplifies your annual charitable giving reports, making it easier to track your generosity and eligibility for employer matching gifts.

×Impact multiplier
When utilizing payroll-deduction giving through a Section 125 cafeteria plan, you may benefit from pretax deductions, maximizing your charitable contributions while reducing your taxable income. For example, if you donate $100 per paycheck and your employer matches that amount, your total impact could double or even triple with the addition of a vehicle donation. This exponential effect not only allows you to support Wheels for Wishes further but also increases your likelihood of itemizing deductions when filing taxes, potentially leading to greater tax benefits.
