The Arizona Sailing Foundation makes it easy to donate your boat to a worthy cause—and receive a tax deduction. We're happy to have sail boats, power boats, trailers, or nearly anything that has value. As an IRS approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your donation is fully tax-deductible.
Here's how it works:.
- Call Gene Walentiny at Valley Marine, 623.931.9159.
- At your convenience, an approved representative will inspect the equipment and finalize the donation.
- We'll arrange a hassle-free pick-up time.
- You'll receive a receipt to document your donation for the IRS.
What will we do with the boat? Usually we sell it at a fair-market price and use the money to pay for the Arizona Sailing Foundation programs. Here is a sample of boats for sale. After paying Valley Marine a 10% commission on the sale, all of the proceeds go directly into the programs. Since most of the heavy lifting is done by volunteers, we get great bang for the buck.
Want to know more about the IRS approach to donated boats? Here's a column written by a Wall Street Journal reporter that explains it.
