Gifts of Real Estate The Church is happy to consider gifts of both residential and commercial real estate. We gratefully review each offer in conjunction with our financial officers, who evaluate the condition and marketability of the property. Real estate may be given to the Church outright, or be used to fund a life-income gift such as a unitrust. It may also be transferred through a part-sale/part-gift arrangement (a charitable bargain sale), or a donor may give her home to her parish and reserve the right to continue to live there (a retained life estate). Gifts of Business Interests You can give investment partnership shares or closely-held stock, as an outright transfer or to fund a life-income gift. Such a gift should be carefully reviewed by your legal and tax counsel first, and we will also assess it before we proceed. To learn more about gifts of appreciated assets, email us, complete the personal illustration form, or call us at 417-866-0841 so that we can assist you.

Stocks and bonds are not the only forms of appreciated property that receive favorable tax treatment when they are donated to the Church. The IRS also allows donors of appreciated real estate, business interests, and artwork to contribute them and receive a deduction based on their full market value. These gifts do raise more tax and acceptance issues than contributions of publicly-traded securities, and we ask parishioners who may be considering such a gift to contact our office first.
