Real Estate GiftsThe University of Florida Foundation welcomes and encourages gifts of real estate. Gifts of real estate can significantly enhance lab productivity and performance and provide substantial tax benefits for donors. Because of the Whitney Lab's unique location, most real estate gifts are sold and the proceeds are invested as designated by the donor. Although most gifts are given outright, many also fund charitable remainder trusts (CRT) that pay income to the donor or other beneficiaries designated by the donor. UFF has experienced real estate and other professional staff to assist donors and their advisers who are considering gifts of real estate. Our procedures (both trust & non trust) for accepting real estate gifts are simple, and our comprehensive real estate policy provides assurance that gifts will be handled professionally to achieve the charitable goals envisioned by donors. If you have a property you are considering donating to charity, please contact: Peter Anderson |
