Charitable Bargain Sales
(An Alternative Source of Income)
How it works
|
You sell your residence or other property to Tufts University for a price substantially below the appraised market value, resulting in a transaction that is part charitable gift and part sale. |
|
|
Tufts usually elects to sell the property and uses the net proceeds of the sale for the purpose or purposes you specify. |
Benefits
- You receive an immediate income tax deduction for the appraised market value of the portion of the property you donated.
- You pay no capital gains tax on the donated portion of the property.
- You can receive cash from the sale portion to retire a mortgage or for other purposes.
- You can have the satisfaction of making a significant gift to Tufts during your lifetime.
