Rebates from Car Manufacturers on a new vehicle
If you buy a new vehicle from the dealer and modify it, a lot of dealers will give you a rebate. Here are a few examples. https://www.ride-away.com/manufacturer-mobility-rebate-programs/
Assistive Technology Foundation (Zions Bank Low interest loan)
1-800-524-5152
http://www.uatpat.org/
Here is another link to the same program http://www.uatf.org/financing/
You turn in the application and they help you get a low interest loan through Zions bank. The loan will be 1/2 of prime and the Foundation pays the other half of the interest. They will help pay for a vehicle and/or modifications. The vehicle does not need to have the lift/ramp already installed. For loans over $10,000 you can usually get a 5 year term. It takes about 1 week for the loan to go through once all of the paperwork has been submitted. Once the application is complete it is good for 90 days (you have 90 days to find a vehicle). You can use the loan more than once.
Independent Living Centers (locations throughout Utah...each county has a designated one)

They will pay to modify a van with lift/ramp/tie downs/etc. They will not pay for the van itself. They will only do modifications on a van that is 1 year old or less. They have a long waiting list. They get money each July, but you will need to apply well before that.

It sounds like they may help with the purchase of the actual vehicle.

a. Proper documentation must be attached to the form or mailed within 30 days of request.
The request will be screened and submitted to the board for consideration.
Thanks,

Contact your local Eagles/VFW/ Elks/Lions/ etc... They are often looking for a good fundraising idea.
Create a GoFundMe account and'or have fundraisers to help raise money.
If you are on the DSPD waiver, they will pay to modify a van with lift/ramp/tie downs/etc. They will not pay for the van itself. It takes several months to go through the approval process.
Karl Malone Foundation has purchased vehicles before.
(this may be an inactive non-profit...it was difficult to track down online)
