Donate a Boat to Boat Donation Charity

Fast - Nationwide Boat Donation Pickup!

When you donate a boat with a trailer it is usually picked up within one to two business days from the time the boat donation form is submitted.

For larger boats without trailers special arrangements need to be made and, once the donation form is submitted and accepted, you will be contacted by phone in order to make these arrangements.

Acceptable Boat Donations and vehicles

Boat donations are only acceptable if the boat is on a trailer.

In our experience we have found that Teddy Bear Cops™ boat donation charity accepts more boats than most other charities.

We suggest you fill out the online boat donation form as we will let you know within hours if the boat is accepted.

We accept many RVs, motor homes, trucks, etc.

Most motorcycles are accepted. Pop-up campers are not accepted.

Your Donation - What happens to the donated boats?

Your old boat, truck, car, motorcycle, RV or other vehicle will not be junked.

You can turn that boat into a bunch of teddy bears to help children in crisis.

Our country's resources are not wasted.

Title Needed?

The Certificate of Title is a document that proves ownership of the vehicle. The only way to transfer ownership is to have a Certificate of Title, called the Title...sometimes referred to as the "pink slip".

In order to complete the donation process, as described above, the title must be present and signed off by the donor so that the new owner can assume ownership and responsibility.

If you have lost your title you can usually obtain a duplicate within hours or days depending on the state you are in. Be sure to inquire and be sure to ask about fast turnaround. Sometimes there is a small fee for a fast turnaround.

Donating a vehicle without a title means the donor is still responsible for anything that occurs to the vehicle after it leaves his or her hands.

Of course the vehicle would have to be paid up and there can be no bank loan (lien) showing on the title.

If a vehicle is picked up without the title the charity may have to pay storage fees, so we insist, unless the vehicle is very valuable, that the signed off title be presented at the time of pickup.

Fees?

If the vehicle or boat is in storage, or at an auto repair shop or dealer, or has been impounded all fees due must be paid prior to the arrival of the towing company to pick up the boat.
