At RevLocal in Greenville, we believe in the power of giving back to our community. Our workplace-giving program allows employees to contribute to charitable causes through automatic payroll deductions, making it easier than ever to support the organizations you care about. You can also enhance your impact by donating your vehicle, creating a seamless integration of ongoing donations and one-time gifts.
Through our payroll-deduction charitable giving program, employees can designate a percentage or specific dollar amount from each paycheck to donor-advised funds or directly to nonprofits. Additionally, your vehicle donation will be processed as a separate transaction, enabling you to receive a 1098-C for tax purposes. Together, these contributions will provide a comprehensive report for your annual giving, and our employer will track your total giving for matching purposes, multiplying your impact.

×Impact multiplier
By utilizing payroll deductions for your charitable contributions, you can make pretax donations if your employer's plan allows it under Section 125, greatly increasing your potential impact beyond post-tax contributions. For instance, if you regularly contribute $100 per paycheck, that amounts to $2,600 annually; with a vehicle donation, your total charitable giving grows significantly. Many employers also match your donations, potentially doubling your contribution and magnifying the benefits to local nonprofits. This strategic approach not only supports your favorite causes but also increases your itemized deductions during tax season.
