Vehicle Donations

Your vehicle may be at the end of its life, but it is only at the beginning of impacting the lives of others! When you contribute your car, boat, or other vehicle to the LGBT Community Network, it will support the programs, services, and events we provide. Your donation of a car, boat, or other vehicle helps create a local culture where everyone feels understood and accepted. The donation of a vehicle helps you:
  • Avoid the hassles of selling it (including paying repair bills)
  • Get a tow from wherever it is at no charge
  • Free up space
  • Have the title transfer handled for you
  • Use it as a tax deduction!
See the Vehicle Donation web page. Vehicle Donation Toll-Free Number: 855-500-7433 | 855-500-RIDE (be sure to mention LGBT Community Network)

Workplace Giving

Did you know you can give to the community by giving through your workplace? Or that workplace giving programs operate year-round through payroll deductions? Or that you can double the impact of your gift through an employer matching gift? Many employers also match contributions of volunteer time. Workplace giving is an easy and convenient way to make a fully tax-deductible donation to LGBT Community Network. Instead of donating to us directly, your employer would set up an automatic deduction through your payroll. It’s as simple as contacting your Human Resources Department to find out if your employer offers one of these programs.
