Did you know that making sundeck donations to Veteran Car Donations can make lasting positive changes in the lives of our veterans? We’re talking about our former servicemen and servicewomen who left their families to fight in the frontlines of war on our behalf – our heroes who put their lives on the line for the sake of our nation. For the sacrifices they made, they surely deserve recognition and our fullest gratitude.
To show our appreciation for their invaluable service to our nation, we at Veteran Car Donations have partnered with IRS-approved 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations that are dedicated to providing assistance to veterans and their families who are facing tough challenges following their separation from the service. Through our various vehicle donation platforms – of which our sundeck donations program is one – we help our charity partners in delivering life-transforming benefits to our veterans and their families.
When you donate a sundeck to charity, we’ll turn your boat into a powerful tool that we can use to improve the quality of life of our heroes. We do this by selling your sundeck through auction and using the proceeds to support the mission-focused programs of our nonprofit partners.
Thanks to the sundeck donations we’ve been receiving, our charity partners are able to sustain the delivery of the following benefits to deserving veterans and their families:
- Financial and other forms of assistance to poor, low-income, and homeless veterans;
- Programs to help veterans and their spouses find gainful employment that suits their abilities;
- Various forms of assistance to veterans confined in military hospitals;
- Treatment of those suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and other mental health issues;
- Therapeutic activities to help veterans rehabilitate and reintegrate themselves into society as well as relax and enjoy the company of their loved ones to strengthen family ties; and
- Sponsorship of events that encourage companies and organizations to give back to the veteran community.
Our Donation Process Is Quick and Easy!
If you’ve finally decided to participate in our sundeck donations program but have no idea how the process works, you’ll be happy to know that our donation process is quick and straightforward. Just follow these three simple steps and you’ll be all set.
- Step 1. Get in touch with our team.
You can make your sundeck yacht donations over the phone by ringing us up at 877-594-5822 or filling out our online donation form. Provide us with the basic information about your vessel.
- Step 2. Schedule your sundeck yacht’s FREE pickup.
We’ll set up a convenient time and date for your vessel’s free pickup. We can collect your sundeck yacht wherever it is located in the country. We’ll assign a licensed towing company to pick up and tow your yacht at no cost to you. Upon acceptance of your vessel, we’ll hand you a towing receipt that releases you from any form of liability pertaining to your donation from that point forward.
- Step 3. Get your tax-deductible receipt.
Our team will work with our network of vehicle liquidation vendors to have your sundeck yacht donation auctioned off. Within days after your vessel is sold, we’ll mail to you your 100-percent tax-deductible sales receipt. You can use this to reduce your taxable income in the next tax season.
As soon as you complete Step 1 of our donation process, our team will handle everything else for you – from your sundeck donation’s towing arrangements to the processing of all the paperwork required by the IRS.
If you have questions about our sundeck donations program, please don’t hesitate to call us at 877-594-5822 or contact us online. For more information, visit our FAQs page.
Reasons Why Your Sundeck Donation Could Be Your Best Move Yet
Your sundeck donation is bound to leave you with a deep sense of personal satisfaction and fulfillment, knowing that it can transform the lives of the veterans in your community. At the same time, your donation will also allow you to enjoy the following benefits:
- Skip the hassles associated with selling a used sundeck yacht yourself.
By choosing to donate a sundeck yacht, you’ll spare yourself from going through all the trouble of placing ads, taking repeated phone calls, showing your vessel to prospective buyers or haggling over your vessel’s sale price. Donating your sundeck yacht to Veteran Car Donations will free you from the burden of keeping a vessel that’s difficult to sell and extremely expensive to maintain.
- Reduce your tax burden!
This is good news especially if you belong in the higher bracket of taxpayers. By the end of the year, you can itemize your tax return and report the sundeck yacht donation you’ve made to Veteran Car Donations for a significant reduction in your taxable income.
- You’ll get back a lot more than you give.
It doesn’t matter if you’re donating because of your interest in the tax benefits or because of your altruistic motives. The emotional, psychological, social, and financial benefits of making a charitable donation will far outweigh the satisfaction of splurging on a much-needed vacation or a new piece of jewelry.
