Frequently Asked Questions:

What can I donate?

• You can donate most any vehicle, including cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles and recreational vehicles. They do not have to be currently running. Your vehicle donation will be sold at an auction or to salvage depending on condition.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

• Yes, the Abundant Harvest Aquaponics is a non-profit organization and all donations qualify as a charitable deduction on your federal income tax return.

What do I need to donate my car?

• The title to the car must be in your name. We will also need some information about where the car is located and the condition of the car. This will assist us in scheduling proper towing arrangements.

Will you pick up my car?

• A towing company will call you to schedule the pick-up of your vehicle. You will need to give the driver the keys to the vehicle as well as your signed title.

How is the value of my car determined?

• The IRS allows you to take a charitable tax deduction on your federal income tax form equal to the amount the vehicle sells for at auction unless it sells for less than $500. If your vehicle sells for less than $500 you may deduct no more than $500. If your vehicle sells for more than $500, you will need to include the IRS form 1098C. Vehicles for Charity will supply this documentation after your vehicle sells. We recommend you consult your tax adviser with questions about your deduction.

Donate Your Vehicle Today       Abundant Harvest Aquaponics has partnered with Vehicles for Charity to process donated vehicles. Just call 1 866 628 2277 they will answer any questions you may have and make arrangements to pick up your donation.

Maximize the impact of your gift through matched giving.

Employer-matched giving

One of the easiest ways to increase your gift to Abundant Harvest Aquaponics is through your employer’s matching gift program. Thousands of companies, including corporations, foundations, not-for-profit organizations, and associations, match their employees’ charitable contributions—sometimes for as much as double the amount of the initial gift.

Companies have various methods for matching gift request submissions: online forms, automated phone systems, or a paper form that you submit to Abundant Harvest Aquaponics. Many companies will match personal gifts, such as cash, stocks, marketable securities, and the value of your volunteer time. Companies may also match gifts from employee spouses, retirees, and board members.

Here’s how to participate

• Find out if your company matches employee donations. If your company does not currently match employee donations, you might suggest it consider doing so.
• Obtain a matching gift form from your human resources office and review the program guidelines to ensure that Abundant Harvest Aquaponics is eligible to receive matching gifts. Conditions and criteria for gift matching vary by employer.
• Complete the donor section of the form and submit it, along with your check or credit card authorization, to:
  • Abundant Harvest Aquaponics
  • WHAT ADDRESS HERE?

Support Abundant Harvest on eBay

Support Abundant Harvest when you shop or sell on eBay. This is made possible by the eBay for Charity program which has helped eBay buyers and sellers donate hundreds of millions of dollars to thousands of charities (and we’re one of them!)

• MAKE US YOUR FAVORITE! First, personalize your shopping experience to benefit our organization by making us your Favorite charity on eBay. This will help us more than you know.
• DONATE TO US IN EBAY CHECKOUT: By making us your Favorite, you will automatically see Abundant Harvest as your preferred charity when you buy anything on eBay, making it easy to add $1 or more upon checkout.
• SELL YOUR ITEMS TO BENEFIT US: Last but not least, help us instead of a thrift store: sell your used items on eBay and donate as little as 10% (1% for vehicles) or up to 100% of your sale to benefit us. When you sell, simply look for the eBay for Charity signature blue and yellow ribbon next to “Make a donation.” Check out the benefits you’ll receive:

+ eBay will waive your Final Value Fees to the extent you donate. (e.g. donate 20% and see 20% of your Final Value Fees waived)

+ The tax credit from all of your donations is yours to keep.

+ Items that benefit charity sell better, as buyers trust sellers that support charity more.

+ Help the world by upcycling/recycling. Plenty of items that might otherwise end up in a landfill can be readily used by others that may not have the means to buy something new.

+ Feel good for doing good.

• SELL YOUR USED VEHICLE TO BENEFIT US: Unlike other charity auto programs, you can sell your used vehicle on eBay and donate up to 100% to benefit Abundant Harvest. This often can result in a larger donation than the $500 or less you may receive from a dedicated charity auto program. Sell and donate the proceeds today.

Visit our charity page today and be part of a growing eBay community that has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to thousands of charities.

The eBay for Charity platform makes it all happen!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supporting Abundant Harvest through Paypal

100% of the donations the PayPal Giving Fund receives are granted to charities.

Your donation will be made to PayPal Giving Fund, an IRS-registered 501(c)(3) public charity (Federal Tax ID: 45-0931286). PayPal Giving Fund is the charity of record and will provide the donation receipt for your gift.

PayPal Giving Fund grants the funds to recommended charities. Typically, the charity you recommend will receive the funds after PayPal Giving Fund receives the donation.

Pending delivery to charities, donations are held in a non-interest bearing account.

*In very limited cases, when a recommended charity ceases to meet PayPal Giving Fund’s legal or other eligibility requirements after your donation is made, PayPal Giving Fund will grant the donated funds to a similar charity.
