ReviveRides is committed to uplifting low-income individuals in Utah by providing reliable transportation. Through workplace-giving programs, you can make a difference while benefiting from payroll tax deductions. Many employers offer automated payroll-deduction programs that allow you to designate a percentage or fixed dollar amount from each paycheck to ReviveRides or a donor-advised fund.
In addition, if you have a vehicle to donate, you can make a one-time contribution that complements your ongoing support. This structured giving not only simplifies your charitable contributions but also enhances your overall impact. Combining payroll deductions with a vehicle donation maximizes your charitable footprint while providing you with tax benefits, including a comprehensive annual-giving report for easier itemization.
How to activate this channel

Choose Your Contribution
Designate an amount or percentage of your paycheck to contribute to ReviveRides through your employer's payroll-deduction program. Be sure to confirm any matching gift opportunities they may provide.
One-Time Vehicle Donation
If you have a vehicle to donate, initiate the one-time donation process through ReviveRides. You will receive a 1098-C form to document your contribution for tax purposes.
Combine Contributions
Coordinate your payroll deductions with your vehicle donation to maximize your charitable contributions. Ensure that both are processed correctly to reflect your overall giving.
Annual Giving Report
At year-end, your employer will provide a comprehensive report of your total charitable contributions, which can be used for tax purposes and itemization.
Track Employer Match
Stay informed about your employer's matching gifts program. Your HR department can assist in tracking your contributions towards any matching threshold.
×Impact multiplier
By leveraging payroll deductions for your charitable contributions, you can effectively multiply your impact on ReviveRides. If your company allows for pretax deductions under a Section 125 cafeteria plan, this could significantly reduce your taxable income, thus enhancing the overall value of your donation. For example, if you donate $1,000 pretax, you could effectively contribute more to ReviveRides while saving money on your tax bill. When paired with a vehicle donation, you not only fulfill a charitable goal but also increase the likelihood of itemizing deductions on your tax return, amplifying your contribution's impact.
