As a result, yacht donations contributed substantial resources to the AMIkids mission to help youth develop into responsible and productive citizens. 
AMIkids is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation and directly operates the program.
 
The charity accepts yacht donations, refit and then lease or sell them. For 50 years AMIkids has received over 6,000 boat donations. Yacht Donations are a considerable source of funding and help support 44 programs in 10 states.
 
Donors benefit of reduced holding costs and obtain a reasonable tax deduction from a safe, reputable charity. The process is extremely convenient for everyone and provides brokers with competitively priced inventory and refreshed listings with interest-free lease opportunities.

"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
