In Utah, over 300,000 households are eligible for benefits yet remain unenrolled, particularly for crucial programs like SNAP and Utah Medicaid. Many families are unaware of the support they qualify for, leaving them without necessary resources.
ReviveRides is dedicated to closing this gap through thorough, targeted research that identifies families who need assistance. By uncovering these hidden benefits, we help families access resources that can significantly improve their quality of life.
The funding for our vital research comes primarily from vehicle donations. Unlike traditional grants or fundraising efforts that can fluctuate, car donations provide a reliable and sustainable source of funding for our mission. Every car donated translates into hours of research that connects families with the benefits they deserve.
At ReviveRides, we turn any vehicle into valuable research hours for Utah. Whether it’s a car, truck, or motorcycle, your donation supports our mission to uncover essential benefits for families across the state.

Here's exactly what happens from the moment you decide to donate your vehicle.
Utah residents can begin the donation process by filling out a simple online form or calling ReviveRides to initiate their vehicle donation. Information about the vehicle, including make, model, and condition, will be collected.
Once the donation request is received, ReviveRides will contact the donor to schedule a convenient pick-up time for the vehicle. This service is free and designed to accommodate the donor's schedule.
A representative from ReviveRides will arrive to pick up the vehicle at the agreed-upon time. Donors will need to have their vehicle title ready for signing to facilitate a smooth transfer.
After the vehicle is picked up, ReviveRides handles the title transfer process with the Utah Department of Motor Vehicles. Donors will receive the necessary paperwork for their tax deduction.
Once the vehicle is sold, donors will receive a tax receipt from ReviveRides. This documentation is essential for claiming potential tax deductions on future filings.
Donors will be informed about how their vehicle sale contributes to funding benefits research programs that support Utah families in need. This feedback highlights the positive impact of their donation.
Your vehicle donation directly supports these programs and organizations in the Utah area.

Everything you need to know about maximizing your tax deduction when donating a vehicle in Utah.
When you donate your vehicle to ReviveRides, there are important IRS rules to consider. The IRS requires you to receive a Form 1098-C, which acknowledges the value of your donation. Typically, the deduction you can claim is the fair market value (FMV) or the amount the car sells for if it is sold for more than $500.
In Utah, if your vehicle sells for more than $500, you can deduct the sale price from your taxes. If it sells for less, you may claim the FMV, but not exceeding the sale price. This ensures you receive the maximum benefit for your generous donation.
For example, if you donate a vehicle that sells for $1,000, you can deduct that amount on your taxes. ReviveRides takes care of all the paperwork, so the value from your donation supports our research efforts directly, ensuring funds go where they are needed most.
