  2. You will be relieved of the considerable expense of continued boat ownership, including storage, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation. You will be entitled to claim a charitable deduction on your federal income tax return.

  3. The Federal Government recognizes that gifts to religious, educational, charitable, scientific, and literary organizations have contributed significantly to the welfare of our nation and our tax laws are designed to encourage such giving. You will be entitled to claim a charitable deduction on your federal income tax return, subject to certain conditions and limitations, for genuine gifts of cash or property to qualified organizations.

AMIkids relies on the generous support of donors to help children across the country. In addition to vessels, we accept contributions of real estate, vehicles, airplanes, various types of equipment, and marketable securities, i.e., stocks, bonds, cash, etc. Thank you for considering AMIkids for a charitable contribution.

"We always knew about AMIkids, but in 2019 I became involved in a transaction and took an interest to learn about the work various schools do. It struck me —supporting AMIkids is a way in which I can pay-back.

I got involved in helping kids in rough environments make better choices and get on a better route to success. I was happy to be invited to join the board of trustees and help contribute in the ways that I can."

— Neil Emmott, Partner at Superyacht Sales and Charter
