Donations For Worthy Causes

We donate during the year to some charitable organizations and of course to our church but at the end of the year we often try to find some other worthy causes. It’s the end of the year when we look back and realize how blessed we’ve been and how we want to share our blessings with others.

While searching for charities I came across Boat Angel. This is a great charity for people in Florida or any where that people own boats. You can donate a boat even if it’s no longer working (there are some restrictions, so I doubt you can donate a sunken boat). If you’re paying storage fees for a boat that you can’t use Boat Angel will not only take the boat off your hands with free pick up, you will get the benefit of a tax deduction too. You can also chose the charity you’d like the money from the sale of your boat to go to. There are some guidelines to this too.

Boat Angel lists the charities they deal with but you can request another one too. They will do a background check on the non-profit of your choice to see if it qualifies. Some of the charities listed are The Jesus Film Project, American Bible Society, Mercy Ships and many more.

If you’re thinking, “I want to donate my boat” but I want more info on what they will do with my boat once they take it from me. They sell them on eBay with 100% of the proceeds going to Boat Angel.

They also provide free of charge Children’s Animation DVDS, even the shipping is free. The messages are all positive. Some are for younger children like the Donkey Ollie series of DVDS and then there’s a new one for tweens and teens.

This is called D.O.P.E. featuring skateboard stars Jay Adams from Dogtown’s Z Boys, Christian Hosoi, Dennis Martinez and Bruce Logan. The music is awesome and the story is real. It is about how drugs tried to claim their lives after they became famous. And what their lives are like now after rehab.

Boat Angels is doing some really great work. Even if you can’t donate a boat, consider making a monetary donation. Check out some of the videos on here to learn more.
