Making a High-Impact Donation Has Never Been Easier
Whether you're donating a yacht, private aircraft, or other high-value asset, BENFO makes the process smooth, secure, and IRS-compliant — all while helping families facing pediatric illness.
Step-by-Step Donation Process
1
Contact Us or Submit a Donation Form
You begin by reaching out to our donation team or submitting a simple online form. We’ll gather basic information about your asset and discuss next steps.
2
Appraisal & Survey
We coordinate a third-party appraisal and survey of the asset (e.g., yacht, aircraft). You’re reimbursed for these costs once the donation is complete.
3
Complete the Donation Agreement
You'll sign an official donation agreement transferring ownership. This legally enables us to act on your behalf in the sale process.
4
IRS-Compliant Donation Letter Issued
On the same day the donation is finalized, we issue a letter of acknowledgment, compliant with IRS standards, indicating fair market value for tax deduction purposes.
5
Asset Is Sold Efficiently
We work with certified brokers or professional auction houses to sell the asset for a reasonable price as quickly as possible. Your broker (if applicable) will receive their commission first.
6
Proceeds Go to Support Families & Research
100% of the net proceeds fund our mission: supporting childhood cancer research and the immediate needs of families battling illness.
What You’ll Receive as a Donor
A tax-deductible receipt based on fair market value
Reimbursement for appraisal and survey fees
Peace of mind knowing your asset has helped a child in crisis
Transparent communication throughout the entire process
BENFO adheres to IRS guidelines for non-cash charitable contributions (including IRS Form 8283 and fair market value determinations). All donors are provided with necessary documentation to file tax returns accurately and securely.
