Donors like Paulette LeCount-Dowden have discovered that making a charitable gift with real estate is a wonderful – and practical – way to donate to an eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization like the Indiana 4‑H Foundation.

People make charitable gifts by donating:

  • Farmland
  • Rental property they no longer wish to manage
  • Unused vacation homes
  • Naming a charity as the beneficiary of a property in their will

Note: There can be significant tax-savings for charitable gifts of real estate and in some cases, you may be able to make a gift AND receive income for life.
