Workplace giving is a remarkable way to amplify your charitable contributions, and ReviveRides offers a unique opportunity to do just that. By donating your vehicle, you can help revitalize lives in Utah while taking advantage of your employer's matching-gift program. This program not only increases the financial impact of your donation but also allows you to support a meaningful cause aligned with your personal values.
When you donate your car to ReviveRides, you’ll receive a 1098-C form, which serves as proof of your charitable donation, making it easier for you to request matching funds from your employer. With many Fortune 500 companies and large organizations backing workplace giving initiatives, your donation can significantly benefit those in need while maximizing your employer’s match.
How to activate this channel
Donate Your Vehicle
Begin by donating your vehicle to ReviveRides. Fill out the donation form on our website and schedule a pickup. Ensure you receive the 1098-C form for tax deduction purposes.
Obtain Your 1098-C
After your vehicle has been successfully donated, ReviveRides will provide you with a 1098-C form, which documents your vehicle's fair market value and serves as a receipt for your generous gift.
Submit Matching-Gift Request
Log in to your employer’s matching-gift platform (like Benevity or YourCause). Submit a request for matching funds by uploading your 1098-C form and entering the charity name and EIN.
Employer Verification
Your employer will verify your donation and the details submitted. They may contact ReviveRides for confirmation before processing your request.
Receive Matching Funds
Once verified, your employer will disburse the matching funds directly to ReviveRides, typically within 30-90 days. This significantly increases the total impact of your generous donation.
×Impact multiplier
Imagine the difference your vehicle can make: a $1,500 car donation could be doubled to $3,000 if matched 1:1 by your employer. In many cases, companies may offer even more generous matches, such as 2:1 or 3:1 for specific causes like education or veterans' support. For example, if you donate a vehicle valued at $1,500, and your employer matches it 2:1, your total contribution could soar to $4,500. This powerful multiplier effect amplifies the support we can provide to individuals and families in need across Utah.
