Ways To Give
Choose the way that fits what you want to give: cash, avionics, an aircraft or parts, or a planned gift.
There is truth to the saying "there is more happiness in giving than receiving".
We at Reboot Charity know this feeling well since we work with people giving every day: volunteers. It's a wonderful feeling to be able to help others. We are glad you feel the same way. We also know it's more than just giving material things; you want to make sure what you give makes an impact. We respect that. For this reason we try to match donated items directly to our missions and causes where possible. We also want to make the process as simple and easy for you as we can.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions regarding donations. Use our contact form or call (561) 621-7500 to talk through your options.
Cash donation
Make a tax-deductible gift online through PayPal Giving Fund.
Donate your plane
We accept almost all plane donations, running or not. Your aircraft gets a second life helping others, and you may be entitled to an IRS tax deduction.
Donate avionics
Removed radios, GPS, autopilot components, and other avionics can be inspected, valued, and resold or reused to fund relief flights. Use the Avionics Donation Program for intake, valuation, and inventory.
Plane or parts inquiry
Tell us what you have and where it is. This is a simple inquiry, not an automatic acceptance. A Reboot Charity team member will review and reply.
More ways to give
To help answer your questions, here are the types of donations we would find most helpful.
Donate Your Plane
Donating a plane is an excellent way to give. We accept almost all plane donations, running or not. To learn about the process and to get started visit Donate Your Plane.
Donate a Vehicle
Depending on the vehicle we do accept some vehicle donations. Due to the cost of insurance, repairs, and other factors we can't accept all vehicle donations. Here are some that we can consider.
Used vehicles: should be in good running condition, able to pass smog, generally less than 5 years old and have less than 100,000 miles, or older vehicles that have less than 50,000 miles.
Specialty vehicles: such as heavy duty work trucks and vans that are in good cosmetic and running condition. These are useful to send to disaster areas to be used directly in relief efforts.
Motorcycles: these are useful in some locations for delivery of supplies. However they should generally be 300cc or larger and be dual purpose or adventurer style. They should be in good operating condition and be able to meet mission control requirements of the area being sent to.
If you have any questions feel free to contact us and give us details of what you would like to donate.
Donate Computers, Tablets, Phones
Give your electronics a second life, a life of giving. We will generally accept used electronics with a useful life remaining. This tends to be electronics less than 2 years old such as smart phones, tablets, and laptops. These items are generally supplied to our volunteers to help them complete their work. Some are given to those who lose items in natural disasters; others that can't be used will be sold and funds used for the charity mission.
Donate Tools & Disaster Supplies
We do accept donations of tools and disaster relief supplies. Since our storage space is limited we normally accept these only during the time we are transporting items to a disaster zone. Since we fly early and are smaller we generally only accept specialty tools or items of greatest value during a disaster. Generally this will include high quality Li-ion cordless tools, compact inverter generators, or items of the like.
Business and Corporate Donations
We are happy to work with businesses and corporations in their philanthropic endeavors. This can be simply your business giving us cash donations or can be more involved promotions. For example, working with us to sponsor flights to bring in critical equipment, tools or materials you donate, or working with us to get some of your key personnel who are volunteering to the location (i.e. communications, infrastructure, etc.).
Planned Giving
There are many options for planned giving including living trust, IRA donations, property, etc. We will be happy to help you consider your options.
Real Estate Gift
We can also accept real estate gifts either outright or as a component of other planned giving.
Living Trust and Wills
Choosing to include our charity in your living trust or will is a powerful way to continue giving.
