Land and Real Estate

Donate Land or Real Estate to Support Avila

If you’re considering a significant gift to Avila University, donating appreciated assets like land or real estate can be a powerful way to support its mission. Just as with donations of stocks or securities, gifting real estate can provide substantial benefits to Avila while also offering potential tax advantages for you.

Types of Real Estate Gifts

Examples of real estate assets you might consider donating include:

  • Vacant Development Land
  • Commercial Rental Properties
  • Company Buildings or Manufacturing Facilities

Like stocks and securities, selling real estate outright can result in capital gains taxes. Consulting a financial advisor before any potential sale can help you explore the best strategies for donating, ensuring the approach aligns with your financial situation and goals.

Ways to Donate Real Estate

  • Outright Gift:
    Donate your property directly to Avila University, allowing the full proceeds to benefit its students and programs.
  • Charitable Remainder Trust:
    This option provides lifetime income for you or other beneficiaries, with the remainder going to Avila, creating a lasting legacy.
  • Charitable Gift Annuity:
    In exchange for your gift, you or a loved one receive lifetime payments, with Avila receiving the remaining balance.
  • Gift and Sale Plan:
    Partially sell and partially donate the property, allowing for an immediate charitable impact while also providing you with proceeds.

Build a Legacy with Real Estate

Your foresight in donating appreciated assets like real estate can have a transformative effect on Avila University and its community. If you’re interested in discussing these options, please reach out to ensure your legacy is honored in alignment with your wishes.
