Support Low-Cost Car Repair
Your sustaining gift to The Lift Garage helps your neighbors by providing low-cost car repair, free pre-purchase inspections, and honest advice, fueling our vision of Safe Cars, Secure Lives.
When our neighbors have access to low-cost car repair, we are all safer on the roads.
Transportation is a Vehicle for Transforming Lives
The Lift Garage provides low-cost car repair, free pre-purchase inspections, and honest advice to customers, but the impact doesn't stop there. When neighbors have access to reliable transportation, they're more likely to report higher quality of life, an increase in feeling independent, and can more easily obtain and retain jobs.
The Lift Garage is powered by community. When you become a sustaining donor, you're joining a circle of supporters from all over the country who are committed to keeping their neighbors connected and cared for by providing low-cost car repair.
Sustaining giving builds a more stable foundation for our entire community. Here's how it works:
Impact on Operations
Sustaining donors provide predictable revenue for The Lift, which allows us to create a strong budget, build capacity, and forecast future growth.
Sustaining giving is sustainable giving. You're creating a strong foundation that allows us to serve more customers, making the roads safer for all!
Impact on Customers
Sustaining donor support shows customers they can trust that The Lift will continue to be a reliable, long-term resource in our community.
We are able to invest in and retain skilled technicians and service writers, providing customers with the expertise and knowledge they can count on, every time.
Impact on Donors (You!)
Sustaining giving allows you to build giving into your budget, whether it's a monthly, quarterly, or annual gift. Flexible payment options let you choose how you make your donation.
You'll stay in the know with regular updates, the inside scoop on our impact, and chances to connect with our staff and other sustainers.
Sustaining giving puts your values into action.
When you become a Sustainer, you are joining a community that believes that The Lift Garage's mission is a good investment and a win for everyone.
Join supporters like Suzanne, whose sustaining gift was inspired by her son, an ASE-Certified Master Technician. As the only mechanic to ever work on her car, he has saved her thousands of dollars and the stress and uncertainty that can come with surprise car repair bills.
"There were car repairs that if my son hadn't done them properly, I couldn't have done them. Which means I couldn't have found work and I couldn't have paid my bills. So when I learned about The Lift Garage, I knew I had to support your work."
Suzanne's sustaining gift helps us put more safe cars back on the road, helping our customers get to work, school, doctor's appointments, and more.
