BOAT DONATIONS

WHY SHOULD I DONATE MY BOAT TO THE CHAPMAN SCHOOL OF SEAMANSHIP?

Have the satisfaction of knowing your tax-deductible donation benefits student scholarships, educational services, infrastructure upgrades, and basic school operations. Because we are one of the few non-profits that can legitimately use your vessel in our training programs (i.e. boat handling, floating classroom to teach marine surveying, boat maintenance projects, as well as systems, electrical, and engines), you can be sure that your donation will have a lasting impact for years to come.

The term “significant intervening use” is an important consideration in choosing the right non-profit for your donation. In that regard, according to the IRS: “Section 7.01 (1) of Notice 2005-44, 2005-1 C.B. 1287, states that to constitute a significant intervening use, a donee organization must actually use the qualified vehicle to substantially further the organization’s regularly conducted activities and the use must be significant. Incidental use by an organization is not a significant intervening use.

An Important Message to Our Donors

Unlike other donation platforms, Zeffy does not charge transaction fees, so your entire donation goes directly to Chapman School of Seamanship. However, the platform does give you the option to add a tip to help Zeffy keep running its services.

 

If you don’t want to add a tip, in the “Confirm you donation” section, just choose “Other” in the drop-down menu and then enter $0.”
A tax receipt will automatically be sent to your email address when the donation is received.
