ReviveRides is dedicated to improving the lives of cancer patients in Utah by providing essential support services that go beyond research funding. Our mission focuses on addressing the immediate needs of those battling cancer, ensuring they have access to transportation, financial assistance, and compassionate care during their treatment journey. Every dollar donated through vehicle contributions directly supports these critical services for patients and their families.
We understand that cancer is not just a medical fight; it’s a life-altering experience that impacts every aspect of a patient’s life. By donating your vehicle, you’re helping us leverage funds to provide gas cards, Lyft credits, and medical transport arrangements to those who often struggle to reach their appointments. Furthermore, we offer copay assistance, lodging, and caregiver services, making it easier for patients to focus on their recovery.

↗Real impact, real numbers
Your donation of $1,500 can fund approximately 50 round-trip rides for cancer patients needing transportation to chemotherapy or radiation. Alternatively, it can provide a month of lodging for a patient family during treatment or cover copay assistance for multiple cycles of treatment for low-income patients. As the need for cancer support services continues to grow, your contributions can create a significant impact in the lives of those navigating their cancer journeys, making every dollar count.
How we vet recipient partners
At ReviveRides, we are committed to ensuring that our partner nonprofits meet high standards of accountability and transparency. We prioritize collaborations with organizations that are recognized by patient assistance networks and have a proven track record of providing direct patient services with minimal overhead. Our partners are vetted based on their program ratios, ensuring that a substantial portion of funds goes directly to patient support rather than research or administrative costs.
How proceeds flow
When you donate your vehicle, the sale proceeds after towing and processing costs are distributed with approximately 70-80% of the net amount reaching our partner organizations. Following that, we apply a program ratio to ensure that funds are directed towards patient services, maximizing the impact of your donation. This guarantees that your generous contribution tangibly aids cancer patients in need.

Together, we can build a stronger community where cancer patients feel empowered and supported through their journeys.
