Catamaran Donations
Catamaran Donations: Donate a Catamaran to Save Kids’ Lives!
Whether your “cat” has been giving you more trouble than it’s worth or you just simply want to make an upgrade, Kids Car Donations is here to help you get your hands off an unwanted vessel without the cost and the hassle involved when you try to resell it. You won’t even have to lift a finger to dispose of it except to make a phone call. As soon as you provide us with the information that we need about your catamaran and yourself, our team will handle everything else for you.
Another awesome thing about donating your catamaran to us at Kids Car Donations is that this will empower you to support the children and teenagers in your community who are grappling with serious health conditions. Once we get hold of your boat, we’ll sell it through an auction. Afterward, we’ll distribute the proceeds to our nonprofit partners.
These IRS-determined 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations will use the funding to deliver a range of vital health services aimed at saving and improving the lives of their young beneficiaries. These services include medical treatment, essential health care, emotional well-being projects, access to free educational and social service resources, and many other quality-of-life programs.
Catamaran Fast Facts
Did you know that Austronesians invented the first catamaran in 1500 BCE? This allowed them to make long voyages and expand their territories to several islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Thousands of years later, an English explorer and ex-pirate named William Dampier encountered a group of people from Tamil Nadu, South India, who were using the same distinctive watercraft. About 200 years after Dampier’s documented sightings of the Tamil water vessel, the very first modern-day catamaran was designed and built by an American named Nathanael Herreshoff.
Nowadays, more and more people spend their sailing holidays and boat trip adventures in spacious and stable catamarans.
How to Make a Catamaran Donation to Kids Car Donations
Donating a catamaran for the benefit of sick kids in your area is incredibly easy — it won’t take longer than two minutes to do.
Here’s a quick guide to our donation process:
1. Get in touch with us.
You can choose to donate your catamaran over the phone by calling 866-634-8395 or through our website by filling out our safe and secure online donation form. You’ll need to fill us in with a few basic details about your vessel as well as your contact information.
2. Schedule your fast and FREE pick-up.
Once we verify the information you shared with us, we’ll have one of our specialists call you back to ask you when and where you would like us to pick up your vessel. We’ll then send a licensed tow truck to your location of choice to collect your catamaran and transport it to our facility. Before hauling off your boat, our driver will give you a towing receipt. This will release you from any liability on your donated boat from that point forward.
3. Receive your top tax deduction.
Once we get hold of your catamaran, we’ll coordinate with our nationwide vehicle liquidation vendors to have it auctioned off for the highest price possible. Within a few days following its sale, we’ll send you by mail your 100-percent tax-deductible sales receipt. You will need this receipt to claim your tax deduction in the next tax season.
