Gifts of Real Estate Property

Appreciated land property that is not a principal residence will attract capital gains tax when it is sold. Donors have the opportunity to instead give this property to Richmond Hospital Foundation and offset the capital gains through a charitable tax receipt. The charitable tax receipt can also be used to offset tax otherwise owing.

Prior to the Foundation being able to accept a gift of real estate and issue a charitable tax receipt, you must obtain a professional appraisal completed by a qualified third party appraiser in order to determine the fair market value of the property.

If you would like to make a gift of real estate to Richmond Hospital Foundation, please contact us in advance to discuss the details of your proposed gift.
