“Your Real Estate Team Down The Hall”

Realty Gift Fund is America’s largest nonprofit created exclusively to facilitate gifts of real estate from donors to their favorite nonprofit causes. Founded by real estate professionals with a combined 145-year track record in real estate investment, development, and sales, Realty Gift Fund makes gifts from the nation’s largest source of wealth easy for all nonprofits, donors, and their advisors.

We Take The Risk

Because Realty Gift Fund takes title and manages the complete gift process, nonprofits can benefit from a lucrative donation that has been routinely rejected. Because the nonprofit avoids the risk of taking title or using its own funds to complete the process, it can start asking for gifts from America's largest asset class and permanently increase the potential of its fundraising.

Low Cost For Our Donors

A donor’s only cost in the gift process is for a current appraisal, the basis of the donor’s tax deduction. All cash payments and holding, repair, and closing costs are funded by Realty Gift Fund from the point of donation to the point of sale, at which time all net charitable funds are granted to the nonprofit world.

A Better Charitable Solution

As one of those nonprofits, Realty Gift Fund retains a small share of the net charitable funds for its operations. This share is a flat amount that varies based on the size, time, and complexity of each deal, subject to a minimum of $20,000 per donation agreement. Because of its experience, Realty Gift Fund consistently produces higher grant awards to the “other” nonprofits named by its donors.

A Simple And Transparent Process

Realty Gift Fund has designed a process that is safe, simple and completely transparent. It begins with a careful discussion between RGF, the donor and the donor’s advisors. Early in this process, RGF will produce a written Net Gift Estimate summarizing the donor’s goals and estimating a timeline and financial outcome. A donation agreement, between Realty Gift Fund and the donor, will state the proposed share of funds for RGF and names of the “other” nonprofits.

We Will Consider Any Property

Realty Gift Fund will accept property of any type... from anywhere. Forms of agreement may include:

• Outright Gifts of Whole or Partial Interests
• Contributions from Individuals, LLC’s, LLP’s, C-Corp's or Trusts
• Bargain Sales for a Donor who needs a partial cash payment (to pay off debt or for personal uses)
• Estate Bequests
• Properties that include tenants, debt, or deferred maintenance

Let us know if you would like to learn more. By partnering with Realty Gift Fund, gifts of real estate are easier than you could ever imagine.
