Donate Your Motorboat To Help Veterans
Since 2015, Veteran Car Donations has been dedicated to helping U.S. veterans thrive. By donating your motorboat, you too can help provide vital services like food, shelter, and medical care to those who have bravely served our country. These heroes gave so much — now it’s our turn to give back. Donate your motorboat and help improve the lives of former soldiers in need.

Are you losing thousands of dollars for the upkeep of a motorboat that you bought many years ago? If you’re tired of paying for your boat’s maintenance, repair, storage, marina, and other bills, you’re probably looking for the best way to get rid of it. Right?
You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking to donate a motorboat to a charity that supports a cause you strongly believe in and one that can provide you with the highest quality of service at the same time. When you make a motorboat donation to us at Veteran Car Donations, you’ll be promoting the welfare of our country’s ex-servicemen and ex-servicewomen, providing them with life-changing benefits. These benefits address problems such as service-connected disabilities, health issues, unemployment, and financial support.
What Are the Costs of Owning a Boat?
Many boat owners are often shocked by the expenses they have to pay months after purchasing their vessels. They are often unprepared for the costs of maintaining their watercraft. Boat owners spend nearly $5,000 annually on storage, repairs, insurance, and other costs.
Once you decide to donate your seldom-used motorboat to our program, we have the perfect setup to help you get rid of your watercraft while contributing to a noble cause.
How Does Motorboat Donation Help Needy Vets?
There are countless veterans all around the country who are having problems assimilating to civilian life after many years of service to our nation. The change of pace comes as a shock to them, and the skills they developed as soldiers are often mismatched with the needs of local industries.
Worse, some of them continue to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health woes long after they left the service. Without proper treatment, the effects of their mental illness can last for a lifetime.
Some veterans have permanent disabilities, which may prevent them from securing stable jobs to support their needs. Without proper jobs, many vets end up homeless and begging. This is definitely not something that our nation’s heroes deserve after all the sacrifices they’ve done for our country.
By choosing to donate your motorboat to us, you’ll be helping support the programs of our charity partners that are meant to empower our armed forces personnel and improve their living conditions.
We auction off the motorboats and other vessels and vehicles donated to us and use the proceeds to fund the key programs of our IRS-certified 501(c)3 nonprofit partners. These programs provide veteran beneficiaries with the following benefits:
- Treatment of those suffering from a post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health challenges
- Various forms of assistance to veterans confined in military hospitals
- Programs to help veterans and their spouses find meaningful employment that suits their abilities
- Financial and other forms of aid to destitute, low-income, and homeless veterans
- 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
- Sponsorship of events that encourage companies and organizations to give back to the veteran community
