AMIkids Yacht Donation eBrochure by AMIkids Yacht Donation Program

Dear Yachtsmen, Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to introduce our organization and the Yacht Donation program. AMIkids is a national nonprofit that has served more than 140,000 at-risk youth since 1969. We currently operate more than 44 programs in 10 states providing a variety of services for at-risk youth. Our nationally-recognized personal growth model ensures that youth are served on an individualized basis, depending on their needs. We are proud of the fact that more than 70% of the youth we serve do not re-offend, giving them a chance to become contributing members of their community. In over fifty years, the AMIkids Yacht Donation Program has received over six thousand vessel contributions. Today, AMIkids enjoys a stellar reputation as the go-to organization for discerning owners seeking for integrity and transparency in the charitable contribution of high-value yachts. Our Yacht Donation Program is unique in three key ways: 1. We protect our donors: The design of our leases, and sales aims at protecting our donors and our charity. 2. We are fiscally responsible: We minimize our operating expenses to ensure the entirety of our earnings directly supports our mission. 3. We handle all donations and improvements directly: no unnecessary intermediaries profit from our operations. I trust your examination of AMIkids will reveal our charity to be a worthy and credible organization. Many high profile individuals have come to the same conclusion and chosen us to donate, lease, or sell several of their yachts. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let us know. Warm Regards,

Michael Thornton Michael Thornton President and CEO, AMIkids Inc.

Experiential Education Experiential Education has been at the core of AMIkids programming from the beginning. The organization started as a conglomerate of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Associated Marine Institutes (AMI)â&#x20AC;? and focused heavily on marine, experiential and vocational education. Experiential education helps youth form a stronger bond with caregivers. Those bonds help caregivers motivate them towards academic and behavioral gains.

AMIkids Vocational & Job Placement Programs Since 2015, AMIkids has launched Vocational Education and Job Placement programs across three states, dedicated to helping at-risk youth learn marketable skills and gain employment. Our data shows that only 6% of youth recidivate after participating in our program.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why would anyone donate a yacht? • • •

Provides the yacht donor a reasonable income tax deduction; Furthers the donor’s philanthropic goals by helping their community; and Conveniently provides the donor with immediate relief from dockage, maintenance and other costs and worries of owning the yacht.

What are the general benefits of Yacht Donation? Yacht Donations benefit the entire yachting industry and our community. Donors obtain a tax deduction and a convenient and efficient alternative to sale. Yacht brokers have another tool in their business, and new yachtsmen have access to yachts under a lease, requiring less initial investment.

Can Yacht Donation be an alternative to trading? Short answer is yes, but the donor receives an income tax deduction instead of a credit toward the purchase of a new yacht.

Will AMIkids accept any yacht? The AMIkids Yacht Donation Program is not a one-size fits all. We work with a very specific market segment of highly valuable, highly marketable yachts. Each potential donation receives a thorough assessment by our experienced facilitators based on our 50 years of institutional experience. Our facilitators will make recommendations.

How does the Donation Process works? If we agree to accept a contribution and to invest in improving the vessel, the donation process involves five simple steps:

APPRAISAL

A qualified appraiser selected by you will determine the yacht value. We cannot be involved in the selection of the appraiser or the determination of the yacht value.

SURVEY

We will obtain a separate survey of the yacht to determine if we are willing to accept it as a donation and certify that we will make investments.

CLOSING

If we agree to accept the contribution, we will work with you to document the process and complete the necessary paper work (deeds of gift, IRS Forms 8283 and 1098-C).

IMPROVEMENTS LEASE

We will invest in improving the yacht. We will market the yacht for lease through reputable channels.

If we accept a contribution with a requirement that the yacht be sold, then the same steps will be required except that we will not certify that we will make improvements and market the yacht for sale through reputable channels immediately after the donation.

Why choose AMIkids instead of another organization? AMIkids: • Has a 50-year record with over 6,000 donations and is highly respected within the yacht industry; • Is a national leader in the rehabilitation of at-risk kids; • Has an experienced in-house team to manage the donation process; • Is respected by the yacht brokerage community; and • Efficiently manages the donation process with its experienced staff.

Where can a donor find supporting information? Publication 526 - Charitable Contributions

This document explains how to claim a deduction for charitable contributions and discusses: • Organizations qualified to receive them • Types of contributions you can deduct • How much you can deduct • What records to keep • How to report them Publication 561 - Determining the Value of Donated Property

This document explains the fair market value of assets and the valuation of various kinds or property; including cars, boats and aircraft. It also describes the process for appraisals and penalties for overstating the value or adjusted basis of donated property.

How does AMIkids lease agreement work? AMIkids uses a ‘Standard Lease with Option to Purchase.’ The lease term is three years, and we hold title to the yacht during the lease term. The lessee has an option to purchase the yacht at the end of the lease term. If the lessee exercises this option, we transfer the yacht to the lessee at the end of the lease term. At the signing of the lease agreement, the lessee pays an initial amount of 35% of the total payments to be made under the lease. There are three components to the initial payment: a Short Term Lease Payment, an Option Fee and a Security Deposit. During the lease term, the lessee makes make monthly lease payments of 1% of the total payments to be made under the lease. This will total 36% by the end of the lease term (1% per month for 36 months). If the lessee exercises the option to purchase the yacht, then the purchase price at the end of the term is 29% of the total payments to be made under the lease. At any time during the agreement, the lessee can terminate the lease by returning the yacht to us.

Why involve a Yacht Broker in the Donation Process? AMIkids does business with an extensive network of maritime industry professionals, including multiple contractors, suppliers and reputable yacht brokerage firms. Yacht Brokers work like real estate agents. They act as agents for their customers to assist in the purchase and sale of yachts. Some of our partners include: Allied Marine Berthon International Yacht Brokers Boatworks Yacht Sales Camper & Nicholsons Chuck Hovey Yachts Curtis Stokes & Associates Davidson Yachts Denison Yacht Sales Eastland Yacht Sales Essex Boatworks Florida Yacht Group Fraser Yachts

Keeping the Integrity of the Donation Process Our donation process is managed with transparency and integrity and includes the following: 1. Accountability: The Donation Team reports directly to the CEO. Our CEO’s primary concern is the organization’s mission of helping at-risk youth. Yacht donations are the biggest component in our charitable contribution revenues and the second biggest source of revenue. We strive to comply with all of the federal and state laws that apply to the Yacht Donation Program. 2. Internal and External Audit: AMIkids is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with federal and state contracts. The Yacht Donation Program is audited annually by internal and external auditors who report directly to the Board of Directors of AMIkids. 3. High Stakes: The Yacht Donation revenue is vital to our ability to serve our kids. We strive to comply with all federal and state laws, including the IRS rules that govern yacht donations. 4. Donor’s Deduction: Generally, if a charity sells a donated yacht, the donor’s deduction is limited to the amount the charity receives from the sale and the deduction cannot be taken until the sale occurs. However, a donor can deduct the fair market value of the donated yacht as of the date of the donation if the charity certifies that it intends to make certain material improvements and retain the vessel for a determined period of time. 5. Efficient Material Improvements: Material improvements are made directly by our staff and a well-established network of reputable job-specific contractors. 6. Our Lease Program: Generally, we lease the donated yacht to a new yachtsman for a period of three years. We have been operating this lease program for 50 years and have found that it provides a level cash flow to our organization and is an attractive option to the new yachtsman because it requires less out of pocket cash than a sale would require. 7. Our team: AMIkids has an experienced team of facilitators and yacht specialists available to assist each donor. We collaborate with yacht brokers, accountants and tax professionals. Our Project Manager directly oversees all material improvements. Our Director of Business Administration closely monitors compliance with IRS reporting guidelines.

How does my donation help at-risk youth? AMIkids is dedicated to rehabilitating at-risk kids through education, training, counseling, discipline and productive work. We often use marine, wilderness and other environmental education and rehabilitation programs to accomplish this goal. All profits from yacht donations support these efforts.
