Turning Your Deed into a Good Deed.

Welcome to Realty Gift Fund

 

“Your Real Estate Team Down The Hall”

Realty Gift Fund is America’s largest nonprofit created exclusively to facilitate gifts of real estate. Founded by real estate professionals with 145 years of combined experience, we make donating real estate simple for donors, nonprofits, and advisors.

We Handle The Risk

Realty Gift Fund takes title and manages the entire gift process. Nonprofits avoid risk and upfront costs while gaining access to one of the largest and most underused sources of charitable giving: real estate.

Low Cost For Donors

A donor’s only required cost is a qualified appraisal. All carrying, repair, and closing costs are funded by Realty Gift Fund from donation through sale. All net charitable proceeds are granted to nonprofit organizations.

A Better Way to Give

As a nonprofit, Realty Gift Fund retains a modest, flat operational share that varies by deal size and complexity, subject to a $20,000 minimum. Our experience consistently produces higher net grants for donor selected nonprofits.

A Clear and Transparent Process

Our process is clear from the start. We work closely with donors and their advisors and provide a written Net Gift Estimate outlining goals, timing, and expected outcomes. A donation agreement clearly defines terms and beneficiary nonprofits from the start.

Any Property. Anywhere.

We consider real estate of any type, anywhere in the country, including:

  • Outright gifts or partial interests
  • Property owned by individuals, entities, or trusts
  • Bargain sales
  • Estate bequests
  • Properties with tenants, debt, or deferred maintenance

Partnering with Realty Gift Fund makes donating real estate easier than you might expect.

Through grants and educational efforts, Realty Gift Fund hopes to make a meaningful impact on charitable giving through gifts of real estate.
