How to Donate Real Estate

By making a gift of real estate, or land, the donation provides you with tax-benefits while making an impact on the lives of local families in need of safe, affordable housing.

Outright Gift

Donor transfers the property for retention and use by Monadnock Habitat for Humanity or for immediate liquidation with proceeds benefiting our mission, and free of any restrictions.

Bargain Sale

Donor sells the property to Monadnock Habitat for Humanity for less than its appraised fair market value and receives a charitable deduction for the difference between the value of the property and the sale price.

Bequest

Donor bequeaths the property to Monadnock Habitat for Humanity in his or her will or revocable (living) trust. If a gift of real estate is encumbered by a mortgage or lien, MHFH will request the donor pay off the debt prior to making the donation.

Benefits

  • Your charitable gift is tax deductible, usually at the current market value. Tax law may allow you to carry over the deduction for up to five years if needed.
  • You eliminate capital gains tax on the property's appreciation.
  • The transfer isn't subject to the gift tax, and the gift reduces your future taxable estate.
  • Avoid the hassle of selling or maintaining your home.
  • Your gift will help build safe, affordable homes in our community.

Property Qualifications

  • All back taxes are paid.
  • No past due utility bills.
  • Property is owned free and clear with no mortgage liens.
  • Land needs to be buildable.

Land Donation are Needed

Building land lots are becoming harder to find… especially at an affordable price. If you have a piece of land you’d like to donate, you can make the dream of home ownership a reality for another local family.

Our Goal

Our goal at Monadnock Habitat for Humanity it to build at least one home a year. One of our biggest challenges is finding suitable land in which to build. Can you help? Do you know of a buildable lot that could be donated or sold to us at a favorable price?
