Submit Donation Through CSR Platform
Log into your corporate CSR platform and select the 'Vehicle Donation' option. Provide the necessary details about your vehicle, including make, model, and condition.

Once submitted, the CSR team will verify your vehicle donation. They will ensure compliance with IRS guidelines and confirm eligibility for matching gifts.

After verification, you will receive recognition through your company’s internal channels. If applicable, matching donations will be processed, potentially doubling your impact.
Enjoy Tax Benefits

×Impact multiplier
By donating your vehicle through Sunshine Shift’s CSR program, not only do you contribute to crucial local initiatives, but you also amplify your impact. For instance, if your car is valued at $3,000 and your employer matches donations up to 100%, that triggers an additional $3,000 in funds for charity. Coupled with tax benefits and potential recognition bonuses, your one donation can create a multiplier effect of community support, leading to sustainable change.
