BOAT & WATERCRAFT DONATIONS
Donate Your Boat for Sick Kids
Any boat, old or new, running or not, can be used as a tool to help sick children and their families. If you have a jet ski or a barely functioning motorboat that’s been sitting still for quite some time, why not just donate it to Kids Car Donations? When you donate a boat to charity, you can transform the lives of children across America!
Getting rid of an unwanted water vessel by donating it makes more sense than selling it. Besides, no one wants to waste their time looking for buyers disguised as tire kickers or low-ballers.
When you donate a no-longer-wanted boat, you provide funds for nonprofits that aim to improve the lives of sick kids all over the nation. Your generous act makes it possible for these kids to face their medical issues with positivity and a brave heart.

We accept many types of vessels, regardless of their age and working order. As long as your boat can still generate funds, we’ll be more than happy to have it.

Child Poverty in the U.S.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, about 16% to 18% of American kids live in poverty, or 11 million-plus children across the country. High poverty rates can be found in states such as Louisiana, New Mexico, Mississippi and West Virginia. In these states, there are more than one-fifth of kids living in poverty.
These disadvantaged children often have a lack of access to education and health care in addition to experiencing food insecurity and limited opportunities. This is why donating to charities that support kids in need is essential, so they can improve their lives.
