How we started
In the heart of Texas, Rev Up Giving was born from a simple yet powerful realization: too many hardworking families were unaware of the benefits available to them. Our founders, driven by a shared commitment to community and support, recognized that vehicle donation could be leveraged to fund a vital service aimed at connecting eligible individuals with programs like SNAP, Texas Medicaid, WIC, and TANF. With a deep appreciation for our local roots, they set out to create a seamless system that utilizes the generosity of Texans to help their neighbors thrive.
Starting in Austin, our mission quickly resonated with communities across the state. Volunteers began to emerge from every corner, eager to lend a hand and spread the word about the program. As Rev Up Giving grew, it became clear that our model not only provided much-needed funding but also fostered a sense of unity and purpose among Texans. It was through the power of giving and a desire to uplift one another that we carved a path towards greater access to essential resources for all.
Our mission
At Rev Up Giving, our mission is to empower Texas residents by providing free access to benefits research services. We connect our neighbors to crucial assistance programs such as the Lone Star Card, Texas Medicaid, TANF, CEAP, and WIC. We believe that every Texan deserves the opportunity to thrive, and our vehicle donation program serves as the lifeblood for ongoing support. Together, we’re bridging the gaps and ensuring that no one has to go without the resources they need.

Why this city
Texas is home to diverse communities, from the bustling neighborhoods of Houston to the quiet streets of rural towns. Unfortunately, many areas experience significant gaps in benefits enrollment, particularly among low-income families. For instance, in places like East Dallas and the Rio Grande Valley, we see underutilization of programs like Medicaid and WIC. By focusing on these areas, Rev Up Giving aims to bridge the gap and ensure every Texan is connected to the support they deserve, empowering them to lead healthier, more secure lives.
