AIG raises funds for tax-exempt 501 (c) 3 non-profit organizations. We do so by assisting Brokers and their clients to liquidate their yachts via a donation marketing strategy. This results in a financial benefit to all parties involved, clients, brokers and the charity, which may approximate or exceed the proceeds from a market sale. Utilizing the
methodology of qualifying the donation under the current IRS guidelines by making "material Improvements" to the vessel, the benefits are immediate to a donor. The yacht can then be re-listed, usually with the referring broker and transfer of title can take place within a short time of the completion of these improvements. Donors receive a tax credit and often"Bargain Sale Cash" directly from AIG to achieve an acceptable total return of the combination of cash and tax credit. Brokers receive two commissions paid directly by AIG with no impact on the return to their clients. Everyone benefits and the charity receives its needed funding to sustain its operation and charitable endeavors.
At Academic Investment Group we take a personal interest in all donations. We recognize the opportunity given to us to provide the greatest possible yield to each and every donor, while simultaneously providing much needed funding for the education of children.
