Gifts of Real Estate - Big Walnut Education Foundation

The Big Walnut Education Foundation would be delighted to explore with you a gift of a home, vacation property, condominium, undeveloped land or other real estate.

What are the advantages of gifting real estate? Most donors who give real estate do it for tax advantages, whether immediate or for their heirs. If one takes into consideration ongoing property taxes, maintenance costs, and income—or if the property is sold, the cost of legal fees, estate taxes, inheritance taxes and capital gains taxes, it is at times financially preferable to donate real estate.

There are also ways of donating a home while still being able to enjoy it during one’s lifetime through a life estate. We recommend you consult with a financial advisor if considering the gift of real estate to explore all aspects of such a gift. Further, Linda Rano Jonard and Kelly Forman Roberto are both licensed real estate agents and serve on our board.

Certain other gifts, real property, personal property, in-kind gifts, non-liquid securities, and contributions whose sources are not transparent or whose use is restricted in some manner, must be reviewed prior to acceptance due to the special obligations raised or liabilities they may pose for Big Walnut Education Foundation.

However, except for gifts of cash and publicly traded securities, no value shall be ascribed to any receipt or other form of substantiation of a gift received by Big Walnut Education Foundation.
