Real Estate Gifts

Almost any real estate, developed or undeveloped, is potentially a charitable gift. I you have owned your own home or other real estate for a long time, likely it has increased in value significantly. If you would like to help fulfill our mission, your property opens the door to a unique giving opportunity. Before selling real estate that would result in a sizable capital gains tax, donors might want to consider donating that property to NSU to avoid the tax and realize a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the property.

Here are some reasons you may want to consider a gift of real estate:

• You would like to make a gift to NSU while retaining your cash and liquid assets.
• You are discouraged from selling appreciated property because of substantial capital gains tax liability.
• Life income agreement. Give your property to a trust naming NSU as the remainder beneficiary. The trust sells the property and invests the proceeds, paying you an income for life.
• Bargain sale. Sell your property to the university at a reduced price and you will receive both cash and an income tax charitable deduction.
• Gift by bequest in your will.
