In the first method, a donor makes an outright gift of property, transferring ownership to an institution like Skidmore, and receives a charitable income tax deduction equal to the property's appraised current market value. If the property has appreciated in value, the donor will not incur capital gains tax liability on the increased value. If the property is transferred by will, there may be an estate tax deduction. Skidmore generally sells donated property, and donors often advise the College about how moneys might be applied after the property sale. In the second method, a donor may transfer ownership of property to Skidmore, but retain the right to live in/on the property for life. There is an immediate charitable income tax deduction for a portion of the value of the property. The third option is with a charitable remainder trust . A donor can transfer property to a trust, whereby the trustee sells the property and reinvests the proceeds to provide lifetime income to the donor. When the trust ends, either after the donor's death or after a predetermined number of years, the trust assets become available to Skidmore. Capital gains tax is avoided, and the donor is entitled to an immediate charitable income tax deduction. Finally, there is a "bargain sale" arrangement. In this scenario, the donor sells property, or a part of property, to the College for less than the appraised fair market value. The difference is considered to be a charitable gift, qualifying for a charitable income tax deduction and a portion of capital gains tax avoidance. To learn more call or email the Office of Gift Planning. Bring Legacy to Life! Philanthropy • Legacy • Security The Office of Gift Planning urges donors to consult their legal and other professional advisors when considering charitable gift giving.
