Many generous people with income-producing real estate want to give more but feel limited by cash flow. Giving a portion of that rental income can be a powerful engine for continued generosity.

Your NCF team works alongside you and your advisor to explore how income-producing property can fuel your giving. Even without selling the property, you can put its income to work for charity.

Here are the benefits of giving real estate:

  • Maximize charitable impact now, without needing to liquidate
  • Retain cash by gifting the asset instead
  • Increase charitable cash flow through reduced or eliminated tax on gifted income
  • Claim a fair market value deduction for the gifted asset
  • Reduce capital gains tax on a future sale

The numbers tell the story. On a $1.5M rental property producing $100,000 a year in income, giving could mean $546,000 in tax savings over five years, plus $500,000 in ongoing charitable cash flow. Talk with your NCF team to see how your own property could fund your generosity.
