Aircraft Donations Requested
This post is of special Interest to aircraft owners that are trying to sell their aircraft. We can provide you a way to dispose of your aircraft and obtain a full tax write off in this tax year. This approach may be the ideal way to move an older aircraft in the current market because the net tax deduction value may be almost as good as the market value less the expenses of continuing to hold the aircraft. Please give it your sincere consideration.
Attention Aircraft Owners – Aircraft Donations Requested
Bahamas Habitat is making an impact for the missions on the island of Eleuthera where our base camp is on Eleuthera…this is true. However, there are over 700 islands in the country and virtually all of the “out islands” have needs the mission wishes to try and address. Moving between islands in a general aviation aircraft is extremely quick and easy whereas by boat or airliner it is difficult, costly and time consuming. 
With aviation as a cornerstone of Bahamas Habitat’s focus we have the potential of making a very unique and profound impact upon our mission work there. Our vision is to build a sustainable aviation wing with aircraft at our base camp airport of Governor’s Harbour (MYEM) that will serve the transportation needs of the mission, provide hurricane relief, support missionary pilot training in collaboration with aviation universities and flying missionary non-profit groups, and help solve the challenges involved in the unique logistics of moving volunteers and supplies between the islands and from the US.
The success of our Fly-In & Help Out Events are one illustration of the pontential impact aircraft can make. Another perfect example of this need was during our attempts to respond in the aftermath of Hurricane IKE. The backbone of our response came as the result of a single volunteer with a Piper Aztec that flew many missions back and forth to Inagua. With out access to that aircraft our response would have been hampered.
We have been donated our first aircraft, a Piper Cherokee project that is now in process of rebuild at Broughton High School. See this video. This project will require at least a year to complete.
We are boldly asking aircraft owners to prayerfully consider donating their aircraft to our mission. The donation is fully deductible and we will supply all the necessary reciepts and 501(c)3 documentation.
We are asking EVERY Aircraft owner to do the following:
1. Prayerfully consider donating your aircraft either now or in your will for future use.
2. Help us promote this request by presenting it on our behalf to aviation groups you participate in or to other aircraft owners you think might be interested.
3. Join in our next Fly-In & Help Out Event. This is designed to introduce you to flying to the Bahamas and our mission work there so you can engage further.
4. Volunteer to fly to our base camp and offer your transportation services between islands for a week during the year. You’ll have the time of your life!
5. Please make a contribution of parts, labor or money for the completion of our Piper Cherokee project. See this video
To discuss any of these options we encourage you to email us at donate@bahamashabitat.org.
