POCATELLO, ID (August 22) -- In July of this year, the BlueRibbon Coalition kicked off a new partnership with Vehicles for Charity (VFC). Shortly after the announcement of the program, VFC received the first call to set up a vehicle donation for BlueRibbon. That call was from Paul Beavers of Amesbury, Massachusetts. Paul called to donate a 1991 Infiniti Q45 4 Door Sedan. VFC made the arrangements to pick up the vehicle. The vehicle was sold, with the BlueRibbon Coalition receiving a contribution after expenses, and Paul getting a tax deduction for the entire amount of the sale; truly a win-win situation.
You can see how simple it is to have the program work for you. Just call 1-866-628-2277 to speak to a VFC representative. Be sure to tell them you
are calling about the BlueRibbon Coalition's Vehicle Donation Program. The vehicle is usually picked up in 3-5 days at your convenience. You will be asked to provide a clean title if your vehicle is titled and, if not, a bill of sale may be needed. In addition, please make sure the vehicle has no major damage. A receipt for your donation will be sent as a follow-up in the mail, which can be used for tax purposes.
Remember, the program accepts a donated vehicle, which can be a car, truck, SUV, RV, camper, motorcycle, snowmobile, ATV, PWC, boat, or trailer. The vehicle is conveniently picked up, sold, and the net proceeds, after expenses, support the Coalition. This is a national program that applies to all states, with the exception of Alaska and Hawaii. (Note: Some additional restrictions apply.)
So, if you have an unwanted but usable vehicle, please consider donating it to the BlueRibbon Coalition through the Vehicles for Charity organization. Just a simple phone call for you and we can put your donated vehicle proceeds to work for recreational access--and you can take advantage of a great tax deduction.
