Aluminum Boat Donations
Help Save Young Lives through Aluminum Boat Donations
Have you lost your interest in using and keeping your old aluminum boat? If you’re not willing to spend another dollar on its repair, maintenance, and storage, consider handing it over to us at Kids Car Donations. When you take part in our aluminum boat donations program, you’ll be helping children and teenagers who are battling life-threatening diseases and life-limiting disabilities.
We’ll transform your rusty boat into a fundraising instrument for the child-centered programs and services that our IRS-certified 501(c)3 nonprofit partners deliver throughout the United States. We’ll do this by auctioning off your aluminum boat and using the proceeds to support the comprehensive medical assistance that our charity partners are providing to their young beneficiaries. These charities deliver quality healthcare and emotional support to pediatric patients. Aside from child care, their services also promote child health advocacy, research, and education.
Why Donate Your Aluminum Boat?
Before you even think about selling your aluminum boat or passing it on to a friend, check out these reasons why you should consider joining our aluminum boat donations program:
1. No out-of-pocket expense for towing.
With us, you won’t have to worry about making towing arrangements or even paying for them. Just give us the best date and time for us to pick up your aluminum boat and we’ll have a professional towing crew haul it away at no cost to you. We won’t even require you to be present on the day of pickup.
2. We made our donation process incredibly easy for you.
Our team recognizes that our primary responsibility is to those who believe in our cause. For this reason, we make sure that our donors get to experience a quick and painless donation process.
3. You stand to gain a top tax deduction.
You can count on us to take the extra step to get your aluminum boat sold at its highest possible price at auction so you can get the maximum tax deduction from it.
4. You hardly even use your aluminum boat.
If you live in a region where the weather is mostly cold, your aluminum boat can be quite useless. Cruising it over icy waters will increase its chances of breaking down. This can be especially risky when you happen to be far from the shore.
5. It’s too costly for you to maintain.
Boat owners spend plenty of money on maintenance and storage. The bigger your aluminum boat is, the more expensive its storage and security fees are and the more painful it is for you to trailer and launch/retrieve it. When repairs are needed, you’ll have to hire a specialized mechanic to handle the job because it can be dangerous to do it yourself.
