Donate a Sailboat

City Sail is a program of New City Kids, a 501(c)3 charitable organization. Because of our non-profit status, we are able to accept your sailboat as a donation and offer you a tax deduction in return.

New City Kids will accept any sailboat in good working condition. The tax benefit depends upon the fair market value of the donated boat . If you claim a charitable deduction of more than $5,000 for any item of property or for a group of similar items of property, you must obtain a qualified independent appraisal, attach a fully completed appraisal summary to the tax return (IRS supplies this form) and maintain records required by IRS regulations.

Advantages for you:

Receive your IRS tax deduction for you boat
Avoid the headaches of selling your boat -- no expensive want ads, taking phone calls, showing the boat, or price haggling...
Avoid the continuous costs of maintaining and housing a boat you may no longer enjoy

In some cases, the tax deduction you receive may prove more profitable than selling the boat outright. And the benefits for the kids of City Sail will be priceless. Please contact us with any questions.
