Real Estate
Donating appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch or commercial property can make a great gift to support the mission of the University of Georgia.
How to make a gift of real estate
All or a portion of your real property may be given by executing a deed transferring ownership to the University of Georgia Foundation. Please click here to review the Foundation's policies on acceptance of gifts of real estate. If you do not feel comfortable deeding your property outright, you may wish to consider a "Life Estate Reserved" which allows you to retain ownership and control of the property during your life with the property to transfer to the University of Georgia Foundation at your passing.
Benefits of gifts of real estate
- Avoid paying capital gains tax on the sale of the real estate
- Receive a charitable income tax deduction based on the value of the gift
- Leave a lasting legacy to benefit the University of Georgia
