Real estate
Rare has established a collaboration with Realty Gift Fund, a special purpose nonprofit who dedicates their expertise to facilitating these types of gifts to America’s nonprofits. Through their mission, gifts of real estate are simple, safe and rewarding. Donations of real estate are tax deductible. The typical tax deduction is based on a current appraisal less any cash paid to or on behalf of the donor (say, to pay-off a mortgage). The tax deduction is taken in the year of the gift and, if necessary, can be carried forward for five additional tax years. For answers to frequently asked questions check out the FAQs here. If you have additional questions, please contact us at waystogive@rare.org for a no obligation, confidential discussion.
