Donate Real Estate
There are two ways we can accept a gift of property.
- Designate in your will that proceeds from the sale of a home, vacation home, undeveloped property or a commercial building go to The Andrew Goodman Foundation, Inc. Your executor arranges the sale and distributes the proceeds to AGF.
- Deed your property to The Andrew Goodman Foundation, Inc., through a charitable remainder unitrust. You set up the unitrust, transfer the asset to it, and collect an annual payment based on the value of the unitrust asset. The Andrew Goodman Foundation would be the beneficiary of the unitrust and once the trust sells the property and retains the proceeds, AGF would receive the balance of the value of the asset. Your tax consultant and tax attorney can set up a unitrust for you.
Benefits:
You receive an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the real estate at the time of the transfer. You pay no capital gains tax on the transfer.
