At Revive Auto in St. Paul, we believe in the power of giving back to our community, and we've made it easier than ever for you to make a difference. Through our innovative payroll-deduction charitable giving program, you can automatically contribute a percentage of your paycheck to a donor-advised fund or a nonprofit of your choice. This seamless approach not only simplifies your charitable contributions but also makes a significant impact on the causes that matter to you.
In addition to your ongoing payroll contributions, you can enhance your charitable giving with a one-time vehicle donation. This vehicle donation is a separate transaction that provides you with a 1098-C tax form, ensuring you can maximize your tax benefits and charitable impact. Combining payroll-deduction giving with a vehicle donation creates a comprehensive annual giving report for your accounting needs, while your employer can track total giving for matching purposes, amplifying the positive effects of your generosity.

Receive Your Tax Documentation
After your vehicle donation is processed, you will receive a 1098-C form, which provides documentation for your tax records. This is essential for claiming your vehicle donation deduction.
Track Your Total Giving
At the end of the year, your comprehensive annual giving report will be provided, showing both your payroll deductions and your vehicle donation, making it easy for tax purposes and potential matching gifts.
×Impact multiplier
Combining payroll-deduction charitable giving with a one-time vehicle donation maximizes your impact. For instance, if you donate $100 per paycheck and your employer matches up to 50%, that results in a $150 contribution towards your chosen charity every pay period. Given that substantial vehicle donations can exceed $5,000, you can also increase your likelihood of itemizing deductions on your tax returns. This not only enhances your personal tax situation but also significantly boosts the funds available for charities, creating a ripple effect of positive change within our community.
