Want to make a gift to Roots and Wings without touching your bank account? Consider giving us real estate, such as a personal residence, vacation home, farm, commercial property or undeveloped land. Such a generous gift helps us continue our work for years to come. And a gift of real estate also helps you.

When you give Roots and Wings appreciated property you have held longer than one year, you qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction and you may minimize or eliminate  capital gains tax. Also, you no longer have to deal with that property’s maintenance costs, property taxes or insurance.

Another benefit: You do not have to hassle with selling the real estate. You can deed the property directly to Roots and Wings or ask your attorney to add a few sentences in your will or trust agreement.
