Your commitment to charitable giving can make a significant difference in our community, especially when combined with the flexibility of workplace-giving programs. By donating your car through payroll-deduction charitable programs, you can contribute to Ride Revive, a nonprofit committed to enhancing mobility for individuals in need across Denver.
This program allows you to set aside a percentage or fixed dollar amount from each paycheck, contributing to donor-advised funds or directly to Ride Revive. Additionally, you can make a one-time vehicle donation, which comes with its own IRS 1098-C, further enhancing your annual giving profile. Together, these contributions will create a comprehensive report for your employer to track total giving, maximizing matching contributions available through your workplace.
How to activate this channel
Check Employer Offerings
Start by confirming whether your employer has a payroll-deduction charitable giving program in place. You can typically find this information in the employee benefits section of your HR portal.
Choose Your Donation Percentage
Decide how much you would like to contribute from each paycheck. This may be a percentage of your salary or a fixed dollar amount, allowing you to customize your giving commitment.
Complete the Vehicle Donation
When you're ready to donate your car, visit the Ride Revive website for specific instructions on how to initiate your vehicle donation as a separate transaction. A 1098-C will be provided for your tax purposes.
Submit Your Payroll Authorizations
Once you've decided on your contribution amount, submit your payroll-deduction authorization through your HR department. Ensure it's set to direct funds either to a donor-advised fund or directly to Ride Revive.
Monitor Your Contributions
Review your pay stubs to ensure that your deductions are being properly allocated. This will help you keep track of your total contributions throughout the year.
×Impact multiplier
The combination of payroll deductions and a vehicle donation can significantly amplify your charitable impact. For instance, if you donate your car valued at $3,000 and contribute an additional $50 per paycheck, assuming 24 pay periods in a year, you could be creating a total impact of $4,200. Moreover, if your employer offers a matching gift program, your contributions could effectively double, enhancing support for Ride Revive and the individuals it serves.
