Give Real Estate
An outright gift of real estate (a vacant lot, residence, vacation home, farm or commercial property) that has been held for more than one year qualifies you for an income tax deduction for its full fair-market value, and allows you to avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated portion. Alternatively, you can give real estate and receive a lifetime income (charitable remainder trust) or give the property while retaining lifetime use (donating your home or farm reserving lifetime use).
Leave a Legacy
A gift through your will or living trust is fully deductible from your estate, and may significantly reduce taxes on the balance of your estate. You can also reduce estate taxes by making EarthRights International a beneficiary of your IRA or 401(k) plan or life insurance policy.
Receive Life Income
Life income gifts provide income payments to you and/or others, an immediate income tax deduction, and avoidance of capital gains tax liability on gifts of appreciated assets held long term.
Pass Assets to Heirs
Charitable lead trusts allows you to pay income to EarthRights International for a number of years, then transfer the income-producing assets to children and others and greatly reduce gift and estate tax rates.
For more information or to inform us of your planned gift, please contact Victoria Wangai, at 202-466-5188 ext. 112 or email at infousa@earthrights.org.
