Gifts of Real Estate

Freedom from Hunger is honored to receive gifts of residential, commercial and undeveloped real estate. As with donations of other types of property that haves grown in value, gifts of real estate qualify for a charitable income tax deduction for you, based on the fair market value of the property, with no capital gains liability on the growth in value.

You can gift real estate to Freedom from Hunger in several ways:

  • Through an outright donation;
  • Through the donation of a fractional interest in the property;
  • As the basis for a gift plan that will pay you income, like a unitrust;
  • By giving us your home and reserving the right to continue living there for your lifetime (a retained life estate);
  • Through a part sale/part gift arrangement with us (a charitable bargain sale).

When you are considering a gift of real estate, keep two considerations in mind:

  1. First, the gift transfer must be made before the property is listed for sale or any contract of sale has been signed.
  2. Second, the IRS requires donors of real estate to secure an independent appraisal to establish the fair market value of the property. We can assist you in following the IRS procedures for this appraisal.
