Donate real estate to make a lasting impact, unlocking the hidden potential of your property’s value.

About gifts of real estate

Build your gift by using real estate and personal property. To schedule an appointment or get answers to your questions, contact Kate Greiner, VP of Philanthropy, at [email protected] or 704-332-5696. If you have left a gift to NCWF in your will, trust, or retirement plans please share your news with us! We’d like to thank you, understand your wishes, and celebrate your commitment to the cause.

Benefits

  • Eliminate ownership and maintenance expenses.
  • Make a significant charitable gift in support of our mission.

How it works

  1. Contact us to let us know about your interest in donating real estate.
  2. Obtain an appraisal of the property to determine its fair market value. This will help you determine the amount of your charitable deduction for tax purposes.
  3. Work with us and your attorney to transfer the property ownership. This may involve executing a deed, transferring title, and completing any necessary legal or regulatory requirements.
  4. Claim your charitable deduction on your tax return for the year in which the donation is made, while avoiding income tax on any appreciation in value.

There may be some restrictions on the types of property we can accept, so please contact us before you donate.

Beneficiary designations

Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
