Your Real Estate Can Be a Gift for Nature

1. You deed your property (such as a home, vacation home, commercial building or investment property) to TNC.
2. TNC will sell the property and use the proceeds to support vital programs. In very limited cases we may use the property for our own purposess

TNC accepts two types of real estate gifts, both of which are critical to our work: land that donors would like permanently protected and gifts that donors permit us to sell, with the proceeds going to support our work. We are not able to protect all of the real estate that is offered to us. The decisions to accept or decline land for preservation are made at the state level and are based on many factors, including conservation features of the property and potential for future transfer of ownership (for example, to become part of a state or national park).

The benefits of your gift will vary depending on how you set up your gift. Our experts can work with you to find the best option for your situation.

• You may be able to receive an income tax deduction for the fair market value of your property.
• You may be able to reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes owed on your property.
• Your ownership responsibilities are eliminated.
• You may be able to make a gift that provides a lifetime of income for you or a beneficiary.
• You will create an enduring gift for conservation.
