A gift of real estate, such
as a personal residence or vacation home, commercial
property, or even vacant land, can be a creative way
to make a significant gift to the American Youth
Scholarship Foundation and at the same time receive
important tax benefits. The benefits include a
charitable income tax deduction for the full
fair-market value, avoidance of capital gain tax on
the property's appreciation at the time the gift is
made, and potentially reduced estate taxes and probate
costs.
A retained life
estate gift allows you to give the American Youth
Scholarship Foundation your personal residence, but
retain the right to live in it for your lifetime. Real
estate can also be used to fund a charitable remainder
trust, which will provide you with income for life or
a term of years.
Of course, you can
also give the property outright to the American Youth
Scholarship Foundation.
To request
information or a brochure about gifts of real estate, please contact

Foundation.

Youth Scholarship Foundation in the shaping of
