Make a Donation Today

Donating stock is a powerful way to make a meaningful impact while also receiving potential tax benefits. Instead of selling your shares and donating the proceeds, you can transfer appreciated securities directly, which may allow you to avoid capital gains taxes and still claim a charitable deduction for the full fair market value. This method of giving can maximize the value of your contribution, ensuring that more of your gift goes directly to support the mission you care about. It’s a simple yet strategic way to align your financial stewardship with your generosity.

To begin the process, you’ll need to provide details about the stock you wish to donate and your brokerage information. Once the transfer is initiated, our team will ensure your gift is received and acknowledged promptly. For more information and to get started, please fill out the form below. This will help us guide you through the steps and provide any additional instructions needed to complete your donation smoothly.

Including Ave Maria Communications in your will is a lasting way to ensure that your values and faith continue to inspire future generations.

Ave Maria Radio has partnered with Vehicles for Charity, another nonprofit organization, to process donated vehicles. Please call 1-866-628-2277 or visit https://www.vehiclesforcharity.org/Donate/AMR.html to make arrangements to donate your vehicle today.

Be sure to mention that you wish to donate your vehicle to Ave Maria Radio in Ann Arbor, Michigan when you make your call or go online. Ave Maria Radio will receive 80% of the proceeds from your vehicle donation.

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

All you need to donate a vehicle is a clear title in your name, the vehicle keys, and information about where the car is located and the condition of the 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.

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 advisor with questions about your deduction.
