When you donate property to this program, NPT will sell it and use the money to help preserve our national system of parks. Our dedicated staff has more than 50 years of experience working with park issues. Corporations and individuals donating real estate receive an immediate tax deduction and avoid capital gains taxes. For individuals, donation write-offs can be staged over a period of years to maximize donor benefits.
Individuals donating real estate can reduce state and federal estate taxes.
Gifts of real estate can be donated through a will or living trust, and can be used to fund Charitable Remainder Trusts. NPT also accepts other marketable assets such as bounds, mutual funds and stocks. The National Park Trust will endeavor to use proceeds from this property for the types of parks and locations the donor prefers. If the donor wishes, we will also provide appropriate recognition of the donation as determined by the recipient park agency. NPT uses professional experts to help donors maximize benefits from their property.
