×Impact multiplier
When you donate through the United Way workplace campaign, each dollar can significantly multiply thanks to employer matching programs. For instance, if you donate $500, and your employer matches it 1:1, that’s effectively $1,000 for AutoLift LA. Additionally, vehicle donations provide substantial funding that supports broader initiatives such as education, health, and emergency services in our community. Each contribution, whether cash or in-kind, strengthens the foundation of services offered by your local United Way chapter, amplifying the benefits felt across Los Angeles.
