Camping trailers can be a valuable asset to charities in Wisconsin.
Used cars, RVs and camping trailers can be donated when owners decide to replace them or no longer use them. These used vehicles can serve charities and non-profit organizations in many ways. In some cases, the camping trailers are refurbished to be reused by troubled teens and camp counselors. Sometimes the vehicles are sold for profit to help keep a charity running. Donating your used camping trailer can be essential to helping a philanthropic organization survive in Wisconsin, where many of these charities will accept your donation regardless of its condition.
Instructions
1. Research charities in Wisconsin willing to accept your camping trailer donation using online search engines to find an organization that shares your passions, such as teenage programs or outdoor camps. Database websites like DonateCarOnline.org (see Resources) can also be a great resource for providing charity names in Wisconsin. Consider the following Wisconsin programs, which all have a clear legal donation process, when making your decision (see Resources):
Boat U.S. Foundation
Defeat Diabetes Foundation
Rawhide Boys Ranch
2. Complete the donation form for your charity of choice. This is usually a questionnaire with detailed inquiries about the camping trailer's condition, ownership history and value. Call the organization directly if you would rather not download an online donation form. Wait for a response from the organization after submitting your form to find out if your item has value to the charity.
3. Arrange a pickup of your RV, which is a service many charities provide at no charge. Drop off your camping trailer at a provided location if the charity does not provide a pickup service.
4. Get proof of your donation in writing from the charity. The documentation is necessary when filing for tax deductions. Ensure that the trailer's value is listed on charity forms and include your donation value as a tax deduction when filing your taxes.
