Welcome to Realty Gift Fund

 

“Your Real Estate Team Down The Hall”

Realty Gift Fund is America’s largest nonprofit created exclusively to facilitate gifts of real estate. Founded by real estate professionals with 145 years of combined experience, we make donating real estate simple for donors, nonprofits, and advisors.

We Handle The Risk

Realty Gift Fund takes title and manages the entire gift process. Nonprofits avoid risk and upfront costs while gaining access to one of the largest and most underused sources of charitable giving: real estate.

Low Cost For Donors

A donor’s only required cost is a qualified appraisal. All carrying, repair, and closing costs are funded by Realty Gift Fund from donation through sale. All net charitable proceeds are granted to nonprofit organizations.

A Better Way to Give

As a nonprofit, Realty Gift Fund retains a modest, flat operational share that varies by deal size and complexity, subject to a $20,000 minimum. Our experience consistently produces higher net grants for donor selected nonprofits.

A Clear and Transparent Process

Our process is clear from the start. We work closely with donors and their advisors and provide a written Net Gift Estimate outlining goals, timing, and expected outcomes. A donation agreement clearly defines terms and beneficiary nonprofits from the start.

Any Property. Anywhere.

We consider real estate of any type, anywhere in the country, including:

  • Outright gifts or partial interests
  • Property owned by individuals, entities, or trusts
  • Bargain sales
  • Estate bequests
  • Properties with tenants, debt, or deferred maintenance

Partnering with Realty Gift Fund makes donating real estate easier than you might expect.

Recent Testimonials

 

Realty Gift Fund were great partners with my wife and I as we endeavored to determine the best path forward on my late parents’ home. We live out of state so managing renovations and sale would have been a heavy lift. Bruce and his team outlined a simple process for us that enabled us to donate the fully appraised value to charity while also realizing the tax benefits associated with the appreciated asset. It was simple, easy to understand, and RGF was a pleasure to work with.


Bruce and his team were great to work with. Everything went smoothly and their communication was excellent!

Who knew donating real estate to charity was so easy? Realty Gift Fund—that’s who. Want to feel—and do—good? Ask Jay and Bruce at Realty Gift Fund for help. They know how to close the deal.

Hello Bruce and everyone at RGF. Thank you for an excellent operation. This really was everything that I was looking for. You converted my asset into my purpose, charitable donation, with an absolute minimum of fuss on my part and in a very quick and timely manner. Super well done and I cannot recommend you highly enough.

My Brokerage Chris Timmons Team had the pleasure of working with RGF in the process of listing and selling one of the properties donated to them in my market. Everyone at RGF was fantastic to work with. They are consummate professionals. I would not hesitate to represent them again and will highly recommend RGF to anyone looking to donate their real estate.
