Cancer can be a challenging journey, and at Revive Auto, we are committed to easing the burden for patients in the St. Paul area. The funds raised through your generous vehicle donations directly support essential services for cancer patients, including transportation to treatment, lodging during extended care, and copay assistance for medications. Every donation helps make a meaningful difference in the lives of those battling cancer.
With a goal to maximize the impact of each car donated, Revive Auto collaborates with reputable organizations that specialize in patient support. By donating a vehicle, you empower us to provide critical resources that allow patients to focus on healing, while alleviating the financial and logistical stresses associated with their treatment.

↗Real impact, real numbers
Your donation can create significant change: with just a $1,500 vehicle donation, we can fund approximately 50 round-trip rides to essential chemotherapy or radiation treatments for patients who lack transportation. Alternatively, this amount can provide a month of lodging for a family undergoing treatment, or copay assistance that covers multiple cycles for low-income patients. Consider how your contribution can directly support those in need and help lighten their load during this challenging time.
How we vet recipient partners
At Revive Auto, we ensure our partner nonprofits are credible and trustworthy. We prioritize organizations that maintain a high program ratio, dedicating a significant portion of their funding directly to patient services rather than research. Our partners are vetted based on their affiliations with recognized patient assistance networks, ensuring transparency in reporting patient-served metrics, which reinforces our commitment to accountability and effectiveness.
How proceeds flow
After deducting tow and processing costs, approximately 70-80% of the gross proceeds from vehicle sales are directed to our partner organizations. From there, we apply a program ratio to ensure that the majority of funds go directly to support services like transportation, lodging, and patient assistance programs, allowing your donation to create the maximum possible impact.
