Gifts of Property (i.e. Vehicles, Planes, Boats)
Donations of property to La Jolla Institute for Immunology are made possible through a partnership with the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Charitable Adult Rides & Services (CARS), which enables the Institute to accept donations of cars, trucks, trailers, motorcycles, RVs, campers, off-road vehicles, planes, helicopters, boats, heavy equipment, farm machinery etc.
This donation option removes the hassle of repairing, selling, transporting, and/or disposing of property, and may result in a tax deduction for the donor. Property assets in all conditions will be considered. CARS coordinates the pick-up and entire liquidation of these assets, while guiding donors through the donation process from beginning to end. Liquidated property assets are converted directly to cash donations for La Jolla Institute for Immunology. The webform that allows you to begin the process and additional information is available here.
For any related questions, please contact Eileen Timken at etimken@lji.org at (858) 752-6535.
Gifts of Intellectual Property
Gifts of intellectual property such as copyrights, patents, royalties, licenses, and technical data are welcome. The tax and legal provisions that govern these gifts vary according to the type of property. Please contact Kelsey Dale at kdale@lji.org at (858) 752-6542.
