Gifts of Real Estate

Gifts of Real Estate

Donating real estate can be a powerful way to support Roger Bacon High School while also achieving your financial and philanthropic goals.

Whether it’s a primary residence, vacation home, farmland, or investment property, real estate gifts can create meaningful impact for future Spartans.

Key Benefits

Gifts of real estate offer several advantages:

  • Potential to avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated property
  • Eligibility for a charitable income tax deduction based on the property’s value
  • Opportunity to create a lasting legacy through a significant gift

How It Works

Making a gift of real estate is a straightforward process:

  1. Transfer Ownership
    You donate part or all of your property by executing a deed to Roger Bacon High School.
  2. Establish Value
    The value of your gift is typically determined through a qualified independent appraisal.
  3. Complete the Gift
    Once the transfer is finalized, your gift can be used or sold to support Roger Bacon’s mission.

Important Considerations

Real estate gifts can vary widely, so it’s important to plan ahead:

  • Properties with Debt
    If your property has a mortgage or other liabilities, it may affect the structure of the gift and related tax benefits.
  • Property Type
    Some types of real estate may require additional review. We encourage you to connect with us early in the process to ensure your property meets gift acceptance guidelines.
  • Tax Planning
    Every situation is different. Consulting with your tax advisor can help you understand the full financial impact of your gift.

A Meaningful Way to Give

Real estate gifts can turn valuable assets into lasting support for Roger Bacon High School—helping to sustain programs, provide opportunities, and strengthen the future of our students.
