Some donors want to make a large gift to the Foundation through a donation of real estate or a vehicle. This type of donation helps support our mission and continue to provide important services to our region and this type of gift also benefits the donor.

When you give the Foundation appreciated property that you have had longer than a year, you qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction. You are able to avoid paying capital gains tax and you no longer are responsible for that property's maintenance costs, property taxes, or insurance. Another benefit for you as a donor is that you don't have to deal with selling the property, you can deed the property directly to Faith Regional Foundation and ask your attorney to include the direction in your will or trust agreement.

You will want to discuss this type of donation with your financial or legal advisors to ensure the proper forms are completed prior to giving your gift.

There are many different ways to give real estate to our Foundation. Please contact us at foundation@frhs.org or call us at (402) 644-7302 to discuss this type of gift.
