Appreciated real estate—such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch, or commercial property—can make a great gift to Purdue.
How you benefit
- You avoid paying capital gains tax on the sale of the real estate
- You receive a charitable income tax deduction based on the value of the gift
How it works
Your real property may be given to Purdue by signing a deed transferring ownership. You may deed all or part of your real property to Purdue. Your gift amount will generally be based on the property’s fair market value, which must be established by an independent appraisal.
