Turn your property into a lasting legacy for parrots
A gift of real estate transforms an asset you’ve built over many years into long-term support for parrot conservation. Your gift helps protect threatened parrots and the places they depend on for generations to come.
A gift may also simplify your estate and, once ownership has transferred, relieve you of future ownership and maintenance responsibilities.
Because every property and every donor’s situation is different, we’ll work with you to explore whether a gift of real estate may be suitable.
Benefits
- Eliminate ownership and maintenance expenses.
- Turn the value of your property into meaningful support for parrot conservation.
- May provide charitable tax benefits, depending on your circumstances.
How it works
- Contact us to let us know about your interest in donating real estate.
- Obtain a qualified appraisal of the property where required for tax purposes. Your tax advisor can advise you on the deduction you may be eligible to claim.
- Work with us and your attorney to transfer the property ownership. This may involve executing a deed, transferring title, and completing any necessary legal or regulatory requirements.
- Depending on your circumstances, your gift may qualify for a charitable deduction and may offer capital gains tax advantages. Please consult your tax advisor.
There may be some restrictions on the types of property we can accept, so please contact us before you donate.
Add the gift of real estate to your legacy
You can also include real estate in your estate plans through a will, trust, or through a Transfer on Death (TOD) Deed, creating future support for parrot conservation.
