Ways to Give Mineral Interests

There are several ways to use mineral rights as part of your giving strategy:

Gift of Property with Mineral Rights

If you own land that includes mineral interests, you may choose to donate all or a portion of that property. This can provide a charitable deduction based on the value of the gift.

Gift of Royalty Income

If royalty income is increasing your taxable income, you may consider directing a portion—or all—of those payments to Roger Bacon High School. This can help reduce your tax burden while supporting a meaningful cause.

Life Estate Arrangement

You may be able to transfer property while retaining the right to use it during your lifetime. This allows you to make a future gift while continuing to benefit from the property.

Charitable Trust Options

Mineral interests can also be used to fund a charitable trust, which may provide income to you or your beneficiaries for a set period or for life, with the remaining value supporting Roger Bacon High School.

A Flexible and Strategic Gift

Mineral interests are versatile assets that can be used in a variety of charitable planning strategies. Depending on your goals, they can provide income, reduce taxes, and create a lasting legacy.
